(no subject)
When I was very, very young, I remember thinking that I could see atoms. I would stare at a blank, light surface (like a wall or the sky) and "see" the tiny little dots that seemed perpetually moving and fluttering and morphing just beyond actual sight... but clearly, the air between me and the wall was made up of SOMETHING. I asked my mom and she said that no, I definitely couldn't see atoms. What were those things? I don't remember her answer because I didn't believe it at the time; I just kept thinking that I was right.
Also, when I first read the Iliad the Trojans were my heroes. It wasn't until years later when someone told me that the Achaeans were the actual protagonists here, that it even occurred to me to think about it like that. I also used to fantasize about Achilles and Hector falling in love. This was LONG before I ever knew (or cared) what sex was, much less homosexuality. But I always saw them together, comforting each other.
Today has been a strange day.
