The Long Lost
A: What is blue?

Such a strange and unexplainable connection emerged from a shared space and time, even when shared in silence.

How foolish.
How silly it must seem for you to be talking and,
Looking at me while I’m looking elsewhere,
Gazing at someone else gazing at you.
How foolish it must feel for a passerby to chance upon this absurd scene of never-meeting gazes,
Perpetually unsynchronized phases.
Parallel and non-converging worlds stuck with only linear gazes.

Never ready.
It’s still summer. Weather.
I have no form of cover. Equipment.
I’m not done working. Agriculture.
Not with all these people here. Society.
I don’t do this often, really. Self-conscious.
Nobody is ever fully prepared for rain.

Like a raindrop to a river, I lost a friend
What I thought was a stream is now an ocean.

Lessons from the 'Hunger Games'.
Archers are the coolest.
Fire is still the best element.
You can be of utmost physical prowess and survive hunts and fights yet lack social skills and you could die anyways.
In a futuristic world where all cosmetic surgery is possible and where youth is valued, in poverty, things may revert back to when wrinkles and fat were socially desired because it meant you had longevity and enough to...

All our abstract and unseen parasites.
From a historical evolutionary standpoint, “One important reason for our attraction to physically attractive mates, according to evolutionary reasoning, is that physically attractive people are less likely infected with parasites (blemishes, asymmetry, leprosy, boils, syphilis), and on average, are healthier. Healthy mates had more surviving offspring.”
Today, we still assume those...

Uneven truths.
I’m going to go now and won’t be back for awhile.
See me off. If I ever departed before you arrived, you, being you, would tear down the gates of departure. I like to think that.
I hate to think that Truth is: Everyone is diverging away. I’ll make the most of our limited time in this limited window of limited opportunity because
Truth is: The day we finally diverge, I...

Any moment has the potential to be pivotal.
It was one of those mundane daily 15 minute commutes and everyone was trying to catch some much-needed sleep but that morning, I asked, “Do you have your own ideal version?”, and that morning, everything changed.

That day will never come.
It would be a frightening day indeed when others analyse me as consistently and as bluntly as I analysed myself.

You’ve never pursued anything but the best. In time, you’ve become the best.
Now, tell me how to outrun you.

Alzheimer's.
The disease of forgetfulness causes you to forget that you have this disease of forgetfulness.
If I give you this forget-me-not, will you finally remember?

Graduation.
Current month: January.
If you want to talk about perspective, graduation and finding work certainly does the job.
Time is ticking.
The countdown has always been ongoing but this time,
It’s a bit different knowing there are only four months left.
A mere one hundred and twenty days left to talk about all our plans for the future,
For me to challenge you with all the things I have to...

“And I will tell you this much:
I will marry just once,
& if it doesn’t work out,
Give her half of my stuff—
It’s fine with me;
We said ‘eternity’.”

"What did you think of that?"
Often, one question changes everything.
Keep asking questions with the intention of purely listening and you’ll be surprised what you find.

Signage.
Signing off on a letter with “…in His love” is still love.
In fact, it is an unfathomable love far surpassing even the summation of the love in every single person.
Take that.

Philosophy X Psychology
What if ‘reciprocation’ was a measure of validity and truth in psychological research methods?
What if, when a phenomenon is simultaneously projected and received by two or more subjects, that phenomenon is considered to truly exist.

It’s the irony that ‘faking good’ in order to look good to others, in fact, makes you look even worse.

"Sadness is beautiful."
Whoever coined that term must have been someone so used to sadness they began to appreciate it. It is apparently possible.
I used to concur. But not anymore.
Joy is beautiful. Hope is beautiful. But old habits die hard.

Really?
Must I break and damage everything before taking care of it?
Must I always need that second chance?
