Um...
Last Wednesday I was in the kitchen having dinner by myself. I saw a young sandfly flipping over and over, attempting to regain its balance from falling on its back. Steady as it was, I think it tried to fly but one of its wings appeared to be disproportionate. Didn’t realize I had stopped chewing and that my spoon was empty where the next portion of rice was due. I looked up from the piece of silverware in time to see the sandfly shoot horizontally across the table a centimeter airborne and failed to get any higher. It like, fell in gravity’s favour...
Down.
I remember my leg muscles carrying me round to that side of the table. I’m not even sure if I had it in my intentions to break its fall. I only remember crouching down to search for the creature, but saw no sign of it.
Where are you?
Somehow, I felt an instant tug at the strings of my heart.
I hope you survived, dear sandfly.
"Yeah, it fits..."
It’s unsettling how someone for once, shares the same logic as mine. Shouldn’t I be pleased that someone else understands why I stick to a theory like that? Apparently no, not the case.
Perhaps being addressed this way by anybody other than myself can crush my resolve like how mama’s clay set can crush chili into paste.
Am not liking any bit of it.
Am anxious. And nervous.
When will insecurity pass me by... tsk.
The dream confirmed my worst fears, as if i needed that.
