Wyrd Whispers

Have you got that feeling?
That feeling where you’re just ready for a crush of experiences to engulf you?

But it’s 10:09 on a Sunday night and you’re stuck puzzling over Gauss’s law?

And frankly, the only thing keeping you from giving up is knowing exams are around the corner and that there’s Disco Inferno playing in the background?

And though you’ve actually got a fervent desire to understand physics, no one has got a clue how to properly talk about before college - and even then, it’s sort of iffy?

But then you remember the loads of other tasks before you…

And you are sorely tempted to just shout with the full capacity of your lungs: “F*** IT ALL - I’M JUST GOING TO DO WHAT I WANT TO DO!”

And then you realize that you signed up for all this, that there was a point where you thought you wanted to do all this?

And you sort of look back and wonder what you were thinking, if you were conned?

But you conclude, as per usual, that there is simply not enough time to live all the lives you want to live -

or that perhaps you are being slightly melodramatic -

or that maybe that’s just in comparison to your usual stoic self -

And then you really do shout: “D*MN IT! I’M GOING TO GO DISCO!”

And promptly get back to work.

When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.
