A Small Paragraph on Life

I feel numb. I cannot describe it in any other way. I would be sad, but I just can’t feel it. It feels like I’m looking into a room, from a frosted glass window. I can see the blurred images of what is inside, but I can’t quite get there. I can’t see the details, or figure out what exactly is happening. It’s been a struggle to even summon up the proper wording to explain how I feel. I’ve been misunderstood and it’s especially disheartening because I am a writer. I need to feel, to explain everything I can see with my language. It’s painful. I now pose a question. Is this just life?

There’s you and then there’s your soul. Your soul does what your heart and the universe wants. It drags you along. All you really do, is provide commentary along the way.

The Treadmill

Modern life has perfected a peculiar illusion:

it has taught men to confuse motion with arrival.

We run from dawn to dusk,

not because we know where we are going,

but because everyone around us is running too.

The pace becomes the purpose.

The exhaustion becomes the proof.

To slow down feels irresponsible.

To stop feels shameful.

Thus we remain suspended between two fears:

the fear of continuing

and the fear of stepping off.

We call it ambition,

yet often it is only momentum.

Like travelers who mistake the spinning of a compass for a direction,

we celebrate speed while forgetting to ask a simpler question:

Towards what?

The tragedy is not that we are lost.

The tragedy is that we have become so occupied with running

that we no longer notice we are moving in circles.

life and death are the same to me, I dont want to go out and look for it, I just want it to happen without having to do anything

I like my shadow; it reminds me that I exist.
