Movement

What are you most likely to do when you’ve got all the time in the world at your hands?

Four snickers and one twix bite-size chocolate bars. It’s what all it takes for me to finish Invisible Monsters. Finish, i.e., I’ve picked up from where I’ve left from last reading the novel a couple of days ago, three novels after, to be exact. The last time I managed to open the book and actually read it, was the day I started with it. Less than a week but more than three days, I couldn’t be surer than that. I don’t want to think. I won’t.

Move on.

Intense sugar rush. It’s what will keep you stay up all night and keep you from dozing. More than enough time to preoccupy your mind with lots and lots of random thoughts. You feel the surge of excitement you get from busying yourself with thinking stuffs which you think are funny or creative. You get up from bed because lying alone is too boring a thing to do when your brain is but all bouncy. That giddy feeling you need to expend well. Stillness is certainly not a good idea. You do something. You’re simply wide awake until the clock says 2 or 3 in the morning and just as instantly, you'd will your eyes shut and force yourself to sleep.

You won’t get up until noon.

This is Life. Just like that.

Move on.
