| If there's anything that I've learned since I started learning things, it's that some things are better left unsaid. Some things are better off not knowing, and some questions are better left unanswered.
And yet, I still yearn to know all.
A new friend has recently told me that I'm too serious, and that it's exhausting to talk to me. I think that's something I've been accused for a few times over the years, and it's not the first time I've been told I'm exhausting to talk to.
I've been trying to drink, but the alcohol seems to have no effect. Not that it ever really did. I still have total recall of the time when I was most drunk, a pinhole worth of tunnel vision in front of me, barely able to walk, squinting up at a street sign, hoping i was going the right way. There's no stopping my thoughts.
Speaking of which, I've worked out why I can't seem to determine my stages of grief, it's because I apparently enter all stages simultaneously. From what I can see, but I can only see out of these damned eyes.
I miss so many people, but so many people have all of these own lives without me now. I think that may have been by design, from what I can tell.
Walking in my own footsteps has brought back a lot of forgotten memories, but I can tell that there is still a lot I am missing. But I must be doing something right, because my scars are itching and I'm limping for no reason. (No, that's not a metaphor, despite how well it sounds.)
I've always said that I'm mot a gambler, I've never been a gambler, I've never gambled. Perhaps if I was, I would have learned to stop making all or nothing decisions. There has never been a plan B. Hell, there has never even been a plan A. There has always been the immediate, and the path of most gain for the immediate future. So all I have is the now, no past and no future.
Speaking of the past, I've unpacked almost all of my old stuff, I've got quite a lot of old cool stuff, it's been like the past 10 years of christmas have all come at once unpacking all of this. Time to catalogue it, take photos and sell it. Well, the stuff I don't burn, at least.
Am I too serious? Do I overthink everything? Have I never not been like this? How the fuck do I stop thinking? |
