I don’t particularly like sleep.
Well no, I do. I enjoy sleeping well enough but the idea of it is something I can’t fathom. The simple feeling of lying in the darkness with the curtain drawn across skies that are undoubtedly beautiful. There is world passing out there and you’re willing to close your eyes against such things? It’s not insomnia if you’re unwilling to fall asleep.
I also find it amazing… can’t comprehend… nothing ever goes backwards. Nothing. Ever.
Time only ever continues. People keep moving forward – you might end up where you started but only because that place or circumstance has moved as you have. Maybe not with you but it has still been moving. Perhaps your paths crossed more than once. Perhaps it happened a lot.
Anyway, I’m moving off point. I just don’t understand why sleeping has to take so long when the day and the night… the lights and colours and shadows and characters waiting to be explored are waiting for you. The world doesn’t stop just because you shut a blind against it.
And also… how the hell can the world’s surface hold so much guff on it. I mean, I myself, a fifteen year old girl with hardly any life experience to date (kind of bullshit but you know what I mean…), I can barely hold all my own emotions inside of me. They spill over. All the time, like now. Through words and song and via tears – I have to overflow because I can’t contain so much pain or happiness or anything. But the world… it has so many people on it. So many people that are all the main characters in their own stories. They all feel just as much as I do. More. Differently. In different places with different extras of their own. Hell, I’m an extra as well in the big movie called “Life”. It’s inconceivable. And beautiful. I love this place, this planet. I love everything on it because we are all intertwined. Every single person – teenagers, clowns, mums, dads, biologists, murderers… everyone, everything, every tree, every brick of mud or clay, every blade of grass. How is it that we all see the same sky? Feel the same rain, the same wind, the same sun. how can that be? We all dance to the same rhythm… but then again, we’re all individuals. No one is the same as anyone else. How is it then that we shun “races”? we categorise, as a people, things that are foreign. But who the hell should decide what’s foreign?! Now I’m getting angry and this was supposed to be a nice philosophical piece of writing. So I’ll end it here.
Sorry for ranting so thoroughly.
