Days seem to be flying by in the blink of an eye. One minute I’m here one place, one blink later I’m somewhere else. Some WHEN else as well. Everything is pretty much the same just with different flavorings. Like how Kool-Aid is sugar but different flavors give a different experience. Every scene has the same elements: time, place, characters, actions, plot, and dialogue to name a few.
We are one of the constant elements in our story/play. The first person character whose current perspective we possess and get to observe and witness. Through this person’s lens, we observe the play of the world through a unique perspective. It’s so unique because of the thoughts and emotions that are experienced that others don’t get. The reverse is also true as we don’t experience the thoughts/emotions of another to the degree of a first person POV.
While WE remain constant in this observational position, the character as well as the world experiences change as the story progresses. The body ages, wardrobe changes, scenes shift constantly, characters enter and exit, thoughts & emotions change as well. Yet we remain the viewer of all these.
At times the “I” feels multi-layered. I feel myself acting and moving through time/space in first person while also existing as this third person watching everything play out. Everything is occurring in the present simultaneously. The character’s current view as well as the observer’s take. There’s also almost like this boundary where there can’t be interference but there can be influence.
By understanding the character and his surroundings, one can then enter into a realm of foresight. Is this the soul? Seeing and feeling what is true to the character as well as seeing a potential greater outcome for the character? Is this a direction into self-love? This character is the self really. As well as the self’s interaction with the world around him is also of the self. It is all one as we are currently split across our separate realities.
I said “Life Update” and I could’ve dove into my experiences of traveling to Seattle and back. But this is where my mind tends to wonder and ponder on. I feel a sense of detachment from all that is. The biggest word that’s been sticking out to me is “Otherworldly”. While I exist in this physical plane, I also feel myself somewhere else that isn’t a place, time, or person. Closest way to find me is hidden within these words; I exist beyond these symbols and more so in the empty spaces.
Life really does play out the way we want it to when we allow respect to each element without fear/worry. Trust and have faith that it all does work for you. It works for US. I find it so much more relatable to use words like “we” and “us” even when speaking about myself because the deeper I dive, the more I see how much WE are connected and one and the same.
What kind of life do we imagine for our character? Who do we want to become? We have all the choice and power in this world for the time being. I’m still discovering. I hope you are too. Till next time🌹
