News from the cold
God bless text messaging. God bless headphones.
If it wasn't for technology, I wouldn't have the possibility to be away without staying away. Therefore, I wouldn't have the scarce last drop of humanity that I still have. One day I heard about human credentials. Oddly enough, I sat and listened.
Human credentials are the few people that remain when you're in the cold contagious style for too long. They seldom complain. They don't give you a hard time. Most of them don't even understand what the hell you're doing with your life. The others that actually understand, just don't give a fuck. That's reasonable, let's face it. You get what you give and that goes without saying. But anyhow, human credentials are the ones that remain with you for whatever reasons (being cute and well-related is not one of them) and people look at them when they are with you, and go like: "how the hell is she/he with her? Someone so bla-blabla-blablabla with her...".
I've got some human credentials. But they don't seem enough to get my humanity back. I'm not polite anymore. I can't answer phones anymore. Social contact is increasingly becoming more difficult to play along. When your all-time best friend, who has been away uncontacted for almost 5 months and you can't even bother to pick up the phone when he calls, something's wrong. Something's really wrong. This cold contagious phase is spreading and my concept of having a good time is now being alone, away from social interaction. With few exceptions, because the world doesn't allow you to do it.
Don't i feel blessed for the ones I met? Yes, I do. Is it enough? No, it isn't.
I've chosen my path. The path of the sheep, fed by the illusion that you can balance things. I could choose a future different from your past. But now that I've turned my back to it all and the tables have turned, you ask yourself: what the fuck for?
This isn't what I signed up for. And certainly not for the dark place that it leads to.
By myself and unable to reach out. Maybe that's just another phase. So I get along blasting demons with my headphones and text messaging when I can find that will to reach out.
Awkwardly enough, since by now i should already be sick of myself, shouldn't I?

use your illusion while there's no balance... i wish things were not always black or white, all or nothing... hope it's just a phase, don't forget some spear batteries!
that's always the trick, "use your illusion". spear batteries on the way!
