Incandescent January 28, 2007
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , trackbackI love the lighting of a dim, yellowish incandescent lamp when I’m up at around 1 in the morning, finishing up on my cramming or just plain doing nothing at all. It makes the room conducive for relaxation, and, more often than not, utter insomnia over the million thoughts running through my brain.
Speaking of Insomnia, I was reading up on the strange yet fascinating phenomenon that is the midnight sun (or “polar day” in some places). I wonder what it’d be like having the sun up all day and all night. I guess sleep would be something you could choose to do anytime of the day, seeing as darkness during the night would be a problem if you chose to live your life at that time. And then I’d think about that line I heard for the first time from Gustav Graves, that bad guy from a James Bond movie, “You only get one shot at life, why waste it on sleep?” It made so much sense to me, that I seriously changed how I saw sleep. If I could survive on sleeping less than 5 hours a day, I’d definitely do it.. not that I have any choice being in college and everything.
On to more interesting and insomnia-exclusive topics! (because I do think of other things besides my severe insomnia) Lovelife.
Why is it that the measure of how close you are with a person is how much you know of their lovelife? That being a stupid question of course. Intro lang naman, don’t worry, this is just equally boring as all the rest of my posts…. So what do you do when you know you’ve reached a dead end but you can’t let go of your feelings? (The answer would be, to let go!) But no, that’s just a too-simple answer to the complicated phenomenon that is love, or that which we claim is love.
Here are some answers I have collected over a series of well, unintended interviews.
“What do people do when they know they’ve hit a dead end / brick wall yet can’t let go of their feelings?”
1. You go on feeling what you feel yet you turn to another direction and living your life with a heavy burden you can’t let go of.
2. You crash right through that wall as if it wasn’t there and then end up realizing you hurt yourself badly doing it.
3. (My personal favorite, thanks Jays, nakakainspire) “What do you mean can’t let go? It’s a matter of will-power. You can always let go. It’s when you choose not to let go that you get hurt. You can let go, move on, and even though there’ll always be some masakit factor, it’s gonna be a lot less than hanging on to nothing.” Woah talaga, woah.
And it’s 2 am. Catcha next post.
