Cookie Crisps for Dinner
Saturday and Sunday were probably the most ridiculous days I've had in a while. They reminded me that humans are insane. Tonight, I had a two hour conversation with one of my closest friends in this whole world, David. I'm 22 years old and have known him since I was 5. This past week- a sudden wave of melancholy came over me- and I've caught myself on the verge of tears more than twice. All I needed was a chat with Dave- he has an amazing way of bringing it all back to normal.
He reminded me that we are all controlled by things that we ourselves formulated. He gave the crowning example of the stock market: "Nen- humans invented the goddam stock market. Then when it crashes, there are people dying of hunger bc of unemployment and things of that sort. And no one ever stops to think that humans brought it upon themselves."
I'm with you on that Dave. We invented time (calendars, clocks) and there might not be anything that does a better job at controlling us. Dave said we should move to an island and wake up whenever the hell we want. "If you're still tired, go back to sleep! If you want to eat Cookie Crisps for dinner, go right ahead! LIVE! Be free, dammit."
We talked about love- my favorite topic.
We talked about the possibility of the true love, or the "fairy-tale" (as he calls it) not being true or fathomable. He must have heard the skepticism in my voice because what he said made me hang on.
He said "Nen, if crazy shit like rapes and murders and other unthinkable crimes can happen, there has got to be another side to that coin. There had better be damn rainbows and blue skies on the other side, and I think there are."
Of course there are. There have to be blue skies. Otherwise, what are we here for? Love exists. Chances are, you feel it everyday. Now, I'm not just talking about eros. I'm talking Love. It exists, there's no question. I see love everyday when my mother takes me to the train station, when my sisters send me random emails just to say hi, when my brothers drive me alllll the way to work bc my car is in a coma, when friends like Dave don't let me give up.
Bear with me readers- I won't be so somber when I come back from my vacation. LOL...I was worse before! Dave actually helped me tone it down a notch. ;p But enough of that.
Before I wrap up here, I just want to comment on how damn sweet it was of Sherly, my little friend from work, to drive me home last night because I was stranded at work. She lives NOWHERE near me, but I think she sensed I was a little off this weekend, and she took me home. Thanks Sherls!!! You're a champion.
QOTD

Keith: "Woah, Sherly. You're being mean today. You even have a crazy look in your eye."
Sherly:"what kind of look? Like I'll squirt lemons in your eyes?!"
