Why must flames be extinguished?
I'm sitting here on a friend's computer. i'm sitting trying to figure out why things happen the way they do. Time is wonderful when you have plenty of it, but its also a bastard of thing in that there are no replays. You can never go back to yesterday and relive something; whether for selfish reasons or selfless, we have all wanted to at some point. I don't really want to go to bed right now. I'm jittery and slightly nervous. I guess it's my body's internal systems responding to the present stimulus in a fight or flight sort. It doesn't matter... i am thinking about my ride home tomorrow, about how i could easily get into an accident if i do not get enough sleep... i'll be fine though cause i won't leave if i'm not well rested, or i'll stop and take a nap. i really wish i were amongst my friends in AL right now... not for my sake but so that i could be there for them. We are but a phone call away but it might as well be an infinite abyss in which i can offer no physical comfort and consolation. All i can do is speak into a reciever, have the sound transferred and sent to the other party and attempt to be there for them.
People are a lot like candle flames. We burn brightly, we dance and play, we constantly need fuel because like the candle flame a lack of fuel causes the onset of equilibrium with the environment. But also like candles we can be extinguished. We can be extinguished before the full length of the candle has been burned, before the flame has had the chance to flicker in someones eye, before having the chance to be the center of someone's affection, before someone gets comfy with the fact that we will be the light in their world for a long time. Yes we are indeed like the flames of a candle. I only wish that like flames, we could easily be relit.
For SC and everyone involved right now.
I never try to name persons in my blog and i always try to keep things a little abstract. Added to that is the lack of avid readers i have... nonetheless if any of my friends close to this situation read this and are bothered by it let me know... its mearly my thoughts and emotions getting out so that i can sleep a little.
