Lately my mind has been in a jumble. I've been wondering things, things like: how do I know I'm in love? why can't I just do x? why do people act like x? do I like her or does she like me? what if she likes me but I don't like her? how is stupid possible when the human race has the obvious ability to talk and the obvious ability to find right answers?

I decided to take a break, close my eyes. I've never felt like this before.

I see a blank canvas, although I know it isn't blank as I know that blank isn't a thing. I know it isn't a canvas because it has a shape, a shape where I can not pinpoint any location other than ""here."

It's always black and it's always white. Out of this indescribable color I see an innumerable amount of shapes all with an uncountable number of sides and they all follow unreal motions and walk on paths which I do and do not know are there.

I can describe this indescribable monument because it is always the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see before I sleep. I see it when I blink and I see it when I fall and I see it when I look too fast and I see it out of the corner of my eye when I choose not to sleep some nights just so I don't see it.

It's like shag carpeting, except it's in more dimension that 2 and has a mind of it's own and can reach and grab and pull and pry and stalk and breath and I don't like it.

You're evidently more deep and philosophical than I had taken you for. I'm not even being sarcastic.

Don't know if it's a helpful answer or not but when I close my eyes all I see is darkness and the insides of my eyelids. I can also vaguely notice if someone turns the light on/off.

I would like to ask how you think it's funny. I could see how you would think of me as emo/bullshitter/attentionwhore but I don't see how you could read that and find me a comedian.

Not you that's funny, just the post.

Yeah, I know. and I thought typing that out would make me feel somehow less confused but it hasn't.

I also apologize for what I said earlier today.

Obviously. I still don't understand how it's funny.

As "emo" I labeled my own post.

Don't worry about it.

Ustartin, cut that out. Now you're the one starting something. No pun intended ...

That was actually mainly pointed at Mantha, she knows what I said.

I know, but I understand that my OP could very easily be described as emo.

We should so have a thread for quotes that we wanted to sig but couldn't for whatever reason, eg. I limit myself to one quote because otherwise I will have fifty.

On topic: Sometimes I see red as well.

I can see fuzzy little blurred dots making lines and then fading. Strange.

Mantha? Don't you remember the song I wrote for you "Oh Mantha"?

Where have all the good times gone?
