Still

I don't want to be seen on the news for having a fight with a grizzly bear nor do I want to be a carcass growing slowly in the forest; that's the reason I ate my porridge earlier than most folks. My latest motto reads: 'grabbing LIFE by the horns.' Actually, it's not as easy as it seems. I peeped through a wall hole and saw it was bursting at the seams as everyone was present doing nothing and something. First, I wore a mask which matched the crowd's; seconded by playing the fool and this time, it had me crowded out of the crowd. It lasted for 1260 days. Coincidentally, it is the same time frame I decided to quit acting and started seeing LIFE as a dry run. Incredibly, something new happened: I got engaged to LIFE. Yes, you're permitted to call it a double entendre.

She's one heck of a shy lady whose heart is always in her mouth, more like on pins and needles. A funny one, too. When with her, Script is my sobriquet. She claimed to be an island because she is a lady. Also, she denied having a younger sister. This, I know, is a lie. I know her younger sister lives, and the cultural experience engulfed therein creates thoughts of treason! The good news is, I'm with LIFE, and I'll continually stick to my LIFE's Script like paper clips (hands) and coffee stains (flaws). We'll get through times.

Still enervated, though.

I recalled being trapped in a maze like a lab rat – the labyrinthine corridors. It developed to a burning feeling in my soul. I’m (a) human(e) which means I could have generated heat-->steel-->(insert here). Instead, I got smitten by mom’s maxim which says my hate shouldn’t be heavier than a war plane. Now I’m all about building a stone castle out of thin dry-wall.

On or completing a task is never a feather in my cap, for there’s more to life. Having written that, I'm still not enrolled in any materialistic course, of course; and never will I allow it be a locust causing hocus-pocus, pulling side-might just to make me lose focus. All that thomases is welcomed. I was one, having a matched-up DNA. It's a new switch, easy to differentiate between day and night, two subjects that are few and far between; and I intend to keep that way.

I really enjoyed reading this. I may not have fully grasped it, but it's clear that the message is you're in love with LIFE, and you're grabbing it by the horns.
