(no subject)
I don't think "weird" is the right word to describe all what I've been doing ever since the new year flipped over and lives had drastically turned.
Especially if Merriam-Webster defines it in this way:
_ _ _ _ _ _
Main Entry: weird
Function: adjective
Date: 15th century
1 : of, relating to, or caused by witchcraft or the supernatural : magical
2 : of strange or extraordinary character : odd fantastic
_ _ _ _ _ _
Definitely, no witchcraft is involved, though comforting is the thought that a human hand so endowed with powers over the cosmos took the time to control the present. Or that the alignment of
I wish I had the power to create candy, though! Or to have people never forget.
Extraordinary might suffice. But it would be better, I think, to say "out-of-the-ordinary."
Yes, maybe that's it, because it assumes that there is an "ordinary" to speak of. Or at least, something defined to be.
When things change, normal takes on a different air. It's the past. It's where everything was made to settle down, stay still and constant.
You'd wish it would just be renewed. That's the only way it can be made to continue on as the present.
I admit the pressure of the past still draws at me. Especially because the past was that good. Especially because the past was that happy.
My past is happy. And I believe worth renewing.
Maybe weird is an apt word to use, anyway, given the other definition of Merriam-Webster.

Main Entry - weird
Function - noun
Date - before 12th century
1: fate destiny; especially : ill fortune
2: soothsayer
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I don't want to think it as ill fortune though. I refuse to look at it as something that has gone awry.
No soothsaying here. None of that arrogant thinking that we have full control over our lives.
But thinking of it as something fated to happen... I guess, that can be quite comforting.
I've been thrashed around by the flow. And though I still try to direct it, there's no other course of action but to just go with it.
Let things take their weird course.
