A Realization In 2020
The party started at 4 pm. It was too early, I was a bit exhausted but a quick shower helped refresh my energy.
And here I am, at 4 pm, in the middle of my 2 years old cousin's birthday party, a loud place where little girls run around with their pastel colored dresses, with mothers restlessly taking videos trying to capture a moment forever, while fathers are sitting at the dining table, having coffee and enjoying a talk and a cake. In the meantime, I was taking photos, making small conversations here and there.
It sounds like a normal party, but to me, it was the first time in six months where I got out of quarantine solitude, it’s been a long time since the last time I left my own hectic mind a little bit as the quarantine appealed to my introverted self. I delved deeply into my passions to the point any interaction would be a great source of annoyance; interrupting the train of my own thoughts.
I took time to reflect on the idea that when you stop doing something for so long & come back to it, you kinda see it for what it really is, as if time finds a way to highlight the importance of some elements, or even zoom out for you to see the big image.
That was my case, as an over thinker, I started feeling my thoughts being focused in a direction around others, it felt entertained with others’ thoughts, as if our conversations are “Thought Galleries” and we start showing each other around, explaining our mental designs after saying “hello!”.
I realized that communication could be deep even in the shallowest forms, it’s also a chance to explore new meanings in life; formed and crafted by another soul.
