In which immortality was given to people.
People go crazy for immortality, but I don't see anything amazing about it. None of the things in my life have changed. You may have infinite amount of time to live, but they still push you into doing things as soon as possible.
You should go to uni, find a boyfriend, get married, have kids.
They realised how messed up things have become and now they're trying to fix it, pretending out eternity is just a hoax.
There is time for everything.
And that's how humans think, postponing their responsibilities, studies or just basic human relationships. Universities are empty, some people refuse to work, we don't get married anymore which results in lack of kids. Why should we make new humans though, since we are apparently eternal. There is limited capacity and even we have our limits. Immortality doesn't make us invincible.
For me, eternity is boring and useless. Is it even possible to love someone after spending so much time with them? Maybe that's why our relationships don't last a lifetime anymore, because lifetime doesn't exist. Only our eternity.
But love isn't eternal and neither are we. It's only matter of time that this so called privilege will be taken away from us and people will realise that they've done nothing with their lives.
Love is something that's supposed to last only a lifetime. You meet someone, fall in love but you keep getting to know each other until the day you die. However, with this eternity, the blessed life as they call it, you get tired of each other because there is nothing exciting in your relationship anymore. The feeling of something new is gone and you know so much about your partner, that you can almost predict their every single move or the thought they were about to say. The unknown is what makes things exciting.
Yes, people can change partners throughout your life, but it causes the real and honest love to disappear.
True love is meant to be for only one special person. Are we not meant to find that? Are we bound to be wandering through this eternity alone, with only occasional possibility of love which isn't even real?
Eternity is repetitive and disinteresting, if you try to live the way you'd live as a normal human being. So why should I be pushed into arranged relationships and studies of something that doesn't interest me, if I have all the time in the world to do so. I'd rather take my time getting to know myself first, before making any decisions about the life I want to live.
Yet, my mother is trying to make me live the way she is living, although it's obvious that even my mother sees how unhappy she is. The relationship of my parents isn't filled with love. It's responsibility of raising a child, rather than any real affection. The excitement is long gone and my parents barely look at each other anymore. They sleep in the same bed just so I don't see how disgusted they are with each other. But it takes more than that, to cover their shared hatred. So why is she trying to make me as miserable as she is? She had plenty of time to enjoy her life to the fullest, but instead, she bounded herself to one place.
I don't want to live my life like a slave of time, when I have the whole infinity for myself.
I want to see places, meet new people, learn things, experience things I've never even dreamt of, read all the books in the world, try all the types of coffee from different places. I want to do the things we once had a limited time for. What's immortality good for if we live by stereotypes.
But even though I want to experience those things, I still don't believe in out eternity.
Love isn't eternal.
Life isn't eternal.
People aren't eternal.
Nothing is.
And it's only a matter of time before we realise how ordinary eternity is.
