Have you ever been in a situation where you look at someone and simply think: What are we?
That's not just couple talk, although, I have run into that quite a few times. I mean, when one person looks at another and labels them- friend, love interest, enemy, aquaintance, and only after awhile sees that they've changed and cant place them because they're too....unplacable, what do we do? Do we keep them hanging in that limbo inside our minds and bypass them, keep them in some special place in our hearts because they've become what we thought they couldnt?
Enemy-> friend
Friend->Love Interest?
(For those interested, it's the friend to love interest one. gee, how original.)
I mean, to see this external change in our own human natures has got to be an offset to most. But how do we get out of that limbo? How do we get back to a cement place where we can once more host our feelings for this person?Friend->Love Interest?
(For those interested, it's the friend to love interest one. gee, how original.)
Or is that what pure love/relation/hate/loathing is based off of? Nothing? No grounds for reason of the other person?
Einstien himself said that "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance" so it makes sense that this limbo exists, to prove us wrong, to make us uncomfortable that we missed all that they could be. That I missed that originally dorky looking boy sitting across the room, that we never thought that one message could brighten up my day, or holding his hand during the Our Father could make me feel so... secure? I don't even know what I felt but it was stable. But I don't know how to deal with it. It wasn't programmed into my head that I should automatically see him as this vision of a white knight to rescue me- dear god I'm getting cliched and rambling, so I'll move on.
This Limbo... is it truth? When we see something change, in that moment of change do we see ourselves and what we've done wrong, and what we can do to make amends? Is it a chance for us to make up our faults and try again with the next phase, the next level to which we can reach higher better, maybe fall flat, but restart again with this hope in mind? Does the curtain pull back for us enough to either blind us in light, or show us the truth? i'm rather unsure myself, and it's scary. Nothing stays the same for any amount of time. We can't go back to life before today, I'm sure many want to. We can't go back to easier classes, to make choices that would make our lives easier now. I can't go back to that feeling of stablility until that change is over, until I know what I am, what I'm doing. What we are, and what WE'RE doing.
And I'd pay anything in the world to know what that is.
So...are we human.... or are we dancers?
