Something, Nothing 2.0

 Something, Nothing

September 23, 2014

I feel something immense inside me.
Something so massive, so enormous, that it makes me write (something, nothing) in the car — messy, without even seeing a single word of what I’m tracing in the notebook.

I don’t know.
It’s easy to say, but I truly don’t know.

The inconceivable absurdity of greatness.
The everyday acts that fill you with infinities.

The happiness of a single second that later you remember with the fervent pain of wanting to go back.

Procrastination.
The damn habit.
The worst vices are bad attitudes — I heard that in a song. And it’s true.

Because a prayer that lasts half a minute can stretch into three centuries of regret.
The song playing on the radio, carefree, can wound you with nostalgia for months.

And the contagious smile that infects everyone with laughter can later feel like a dagger in the loneliness that follows.

Everything seems to be collapsing into missing yesterday —
no.
I mean the eternal.

Like a tattoo.
Yes, it was from another time. Maybe impulsive, maybe simply of its moment; but you have it, it’s there, and you know with certainty that it always will be.

And it’s chameleonic, because its meaning keeps changing every time someone asks why you got it — but it’s fixed, and it will stay there no matter what you say, no matter what story you tell.

Immense, yet so insignificant.

Night lights.
The sea in winter.
The song you turn up louder.
Eyes lighting up.
Passions.
Life.

Insignificant.

We are immense.
