Jump then Fall into me
Saturday, July 16, 2011

I fell today. I havent for a really long time.

Slipped on the steps while walking in the rain. Tumbled down two steps further, my hand filled with dirt, my handphone on the floor, its cover a distance away. Amongst all the soot, I saw a tinge of red beginning to well up. I dreaded what came next.

It's just a small cut, and a little blood. But the pain reminded me of the loneliness, falling on my own, having to stand up and pick myself up all by my own. There was a sudden flow of loneliness, and sadness rushing into my mind, paralyzing it. Somehow, I had to fight really hard to continue walking to catch up to my classmates in front. But it felt so cold, felt like everything was collapsing.

The physical experience of falling made all the emotional battles I've been through suddenly feel so tangible. The difference when it's in your mind and in your hands.

It's been quite a tough time, I can't remember the last time when things were simple and peaceful.
