glazed over eyes

Just looking in her eyes, these kind of glazed over eyes; you know that she hides it well. She has had years of practice, it never really costs her that much effort, she simply is. She is almost always stoned and being stoned gives her a quality, a kind of control over her surroundings. I admire these kinds of people, they are real in my eyes, and they excite me somehow because of the difference between them and everyone else. Independent substance addiction and use without any unpleasant outward disturbances whatsoever. Instead of endless guilt trips and identity issues she knows that living is a balance between love and lust and she lives every day as if it were her last.
