Life

Have you ever experienced one of these moments? I'm sure
we all have, but never really talk about them. Sometimes,
it happens, we feel like absolute shit. Say something
really, really sad or shocking happened. Or nothing even
happened at all, but somehow you feel terrible. You cry.
You're angry. You experience a panick attack. You've got
visions, I don't know. Everyone has their problems.

And sometimes, you experience quite the opposite. For
really no reason at all, you're happy. I'm just in that
state right now. I'm happy to live, to experience, to be.
To hell with my problems, they don't seem that worrysome.

I'm just happy to be. How does it make any sense that
we're able to feel our fingers, our breath, our awareness?
Knowledge never has a response for any of that. We're
animals, Sapiens, our organs work like this, our ancestors
built aqueducts, blah blah. The past is in the past, the
future, well, we always get it wrong, and Science explains
mechanisms but not reasons.

How are you here, reading this? How can you understand
what I'm writing? Not scientifically, like "well, my
brain processes the image captured by the eyes and—"
Nuhuhuh. Look away from the screen for a bit. How are you
HERE right now? Get it? No?

Whatever. It doesn't make any sense at all. Just know
that I'm happy to be here, person-who-could-be-from-
anywhere-on-the-planet.
