At the end of "Everything"... Fascination






Human feelings had always been that fascinating mystery that I could never understand. Even my own. It's as fascinating as the light of the moon in a dark but clear night sky... It calls you, it longs for you, it whispers your name.

We, humans, do like to make everything around us so complicated, and, although we know  the logical answers to all our questions, although we know what we are supposed to do, we still put ourselves in dilemmas and then blame the whole universe for it. Amazingly fascinating, isn't it? We have so many desires that are simply the opposite of what logic tells us, of common sense... and yet, we do enjoy these situations, don't we? Those forbidden emotions that takes our bodies and feelings to a new dimension, where every single feeling like fear, desire, love and shame are suddenly multiplied and amplified to the point where pain and pleasure are utterly the same, just alike. Or, our body starts reacting to it all evenly. Maybe.

I wonder if we do enjoy all of this? Do we have some sort of ancient gene in our DNA that makes us attracted to everything complex, dark and confusing? Do we enjoy living in contradictions, pain, as long as it brings us that confused feeling of joy, that forbidden pleasure? Maybe we just like to be "special", or cared for? Human beings are such weird creatures after all, we do need a language to communicate and yet we do not understand who we are. But, maybe, that is exactly the point, the beauty of it, to feel it, see it, and not understand it, to keep the waiting and prolong that fascinating pleasure.

My faithful companion







Fear is my daily companion, the sort of companions that you would like to get rid of but that you simply cannot. It is the only companion I've had for years, I do not know any one else. Knowing it might be a wrong way of saying things... What is fear after all? 
I've looked it up in Google, and it says "An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat." 


An unpleasant emotion, it says... caused by a feeling of danger. Maybe. I fear the future as much as I desire it. I remember when I was a kid, I used to imagine myself having the chance to take a brief glance at my future, just to know what to expect, and, of course I've never had the chance to. It is a sort of "spoiler alert", but wouldn't it be fascinating? Wouldn't we be happier knowing what we will get and just going towards it steadily and surely?


Darkness is covering it all, and sometimes all hope runs away... It sounds a bit gothic, but don't we all have a bit of it in us? I never know how to deal with uncertainty, I do not know how to loose, it burns, and yet I cannot always win. I sometimes feel like laying down and stay there, and leave it to destiny to decide, to worry, to fear for what is going to happen... Let it finally do its job.
