Sometimes I just feel like I’m looking at the world from inside an aquarium, but without the water. So maybe it’s a terrarium. That is the one with the lizards and chameleons in it, isn’t it? I digress. I’m looking out, feeling a little sad, but not knowing why exactly. It’s just like there are thin threads of heartbrokenness swirling up my nostrils and down my throat with every breath I take, and I feel detached. Even the sounds I hear seem muffled.
They cleaned our windows today in The Ivory Tower at Real Work. It’s been a year, and the acid rain had deposited a layer of dust so thick on the outside that, after they were cleaned, my colleague exclaimed: “I can see cars!” She overlooks a four-lane highway. We are blessed with huge, 8 x 6 pane windows that stretch up two metres, so cleaning them changes the light completely. It’s suddenly crystallised.
Oh, you see? I’m making no sense, I can tell, but I’m too far detached from earth to be able to do anything about it. I’m sure the clean windows are explaining my terrarium feelings, but the sad detachment? Where’d that come from?

From full moon, funny earth rays, crazy forgotten dreams, maybe the realisation there is a life outside your ivory tower, with noisy and dirty cars, who knows. If you read my blog post of today you will see how to cope with it - push it over the top, try to be real awfully extremely SA-AD, maybe with a few dramatic sobs, then your happy common sense will take over again and ask for a mug of hot coffee.Oh, and comment a bit, people like that and will send you GOOD rays!
Thanks for your comment! See, the good rays are already surrounding you!
Hope it is inexplicable feelings and not real things?

I do accept as true with all of the concepts you have presented in
your post. They're really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. May you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never
found any interesting article like yours.
It's pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
