Life Is Always a Performance Never a Rehearsal @mtsaywhat - Tumblr Blog

Short Story

I'm not religious and I'm not very spiritual. But recently I've been more spiritual. I've always been very sensitive to how people feel. It's overwhelming at times. Interacting with a large group of people for too long is exhausting. The energy they give off is like a vibration or a sound wave. I'm sensitive to those vibrations. So I was in a room full of vibrations. A jolly whistle here, a sharp ringing there. One might say, the melding of their sound waves are like a symphony. However, I sure as fuck didn't pay a ticket to the clamoring, chaotic cacophony with no conductor. I turn to leave the chaos. I stop. I could feel the vibration pulsing from my feet to my head and back. It's like the radio was suddenly tuned to the perfect station. The sound is crystal clear, like it's living. A seductive and relentless droning. I find the source. Upon finding the source, I realize that my body was emitting vibrations of the same frequency. We made music, and we danced. Time has passed. Now the sound from my body is like a whisper that's unable to piece the stale air. But I still make music and I dance.

You are my Planet and I'm your Moon. If we get too close, we'll crash. So instead I'll orbit around you from afar. I can never be with you, but I'll always feel the vibration of your gravity.

Closure

I find having closure so important. I need to know why things didn't work out so that I won't repeat the same mistake. But I'm not finding any. Telling me that I'm beautiful and that I've haven't done anything wrong didn't help me understand. I don't understand how love can vanish. I don't understand how you say you just aren't ready for a relationship. You've been in one for months and we've been happy until recently. I was still happy being with you but you're not. You can't explain it and you can't give me a reason. You say you don't want to be with anyone else. But you also don't want to be with me. I'm seeking a reason, an explanation. I feel inadequate. Ugly. Needy. Not enough of something but not knowing what. I still love you. I need to be around you. But you seem to get on just fine. And that's the worst part.

For my fellow Americans complaining about Beyonce

This post is for Americans that are offended by Beyonce's new video, perhaps specifically white Americans. I remember when M Night Shyamylan created a film adaption of the Avatar the Last Airbender, I was offended. When I discussed the casting choices for the film with my friends I had two very different reactions. My friends that were minorities were in complete agreement. While my white friends didn't seem to understand the problem or even went as far as to say that I was overreacting. All the main characters came from a fictional land and time, but they were all clearly Asian inspired. From the clothes, money, folk lore, and architecture. But white actors were chosen to represent them. Now Beyonce has made an appearance in Coldplay's new video and they have switched their opinions. One might say that these people have become more aware and enlightened to what cultural appropriation is and they are now putting their two cents in. However, in reality these people participate in cultural appropriation everyday. In fact, Americans are cultural appropriation experts. Ballroom dancing? Someone from Japan could meet someone from the UK for the first time and be able to dance the Waltz together even though they only took lessons in their respective countries. But the same couldn't be said about America. We took ballroom dancing and created new steps and called it our own, "American Smooth" and "American Rhythm". How about any kind of ethnic cuisine in America? Do you like sushi? Or just the kind that is cooked and topped with sweet soy, sriracha aoili then dunked in copious amounts of soy sauce and wasabi? That's called Americanized sushi. I don't find it wrong that most Americans like Americanized sushi. But it does pose a problem. Real authentic Japanese restaurants struggle to survive in many parts of America because most consumers prefer Americanized sushi. Driving authentic Japanese restaurants out of business to make room for the more popular Americanized restaurants is certainly an example of cultural appropriation. There are plenty more examples of Americans culturally appropriating fashion, music, artwork, ect everyday. Most of you complaining about cultural appropriation participate it in more damaging ways than this one video Beyonce participated in. America is so deeply rooted in cultural appropriation. I'm not saying it's wrong to like American Rhythm, Americanized sushi, or to wear hip hop inspired clothing. And I'm certainly not infallible. However, complaining about Beyonce's appearance in Coldplay's video while not doing anything to change our own participation in cultural appropriation is hypocritical. It's faux activism.
