I look through the window. The pastels colors in the sky claim the day is dancing his last song, before it's time to leave the party, go to sleep, and let the night take the lead and carry on.
The purple curtains, poorly improvised out of the most ineffective cheap sheer polyester fabric anyone could possibly find in a fabric store that I suspect is located in Montmarte, somehow end up suiting the nostalgic feel of the moment, as they remind me so much to my imaginary version of a dull russian brothel.
It's almost 10 p.m., and I've spent the day trying to withstand the suffocating heat of a parisian summer that feels much more weary than it's ever felt. I've had a fan pointing at me throughout the whole day, and I was barely able to do any action that would reasonably require any kind of complex muscle orchestration. I had barely enough strength to go to the kitchen for Coca-Cola, and for chewing some pastries I had previously bought in the local Monoprix's bakery.
I'm so lost somehow. And I always find myself in situations like this as soon as a project comes to an end, forcing me to find a new thing to amuse myself with. I feel strange, like inadequate. A subtle breeze makes the curtains dance languidly. I guess feeling trapped in the crooked little concrete oven my apartment became today, with now prospect of any kind of further entertainment, other than occasional visits to old blogs I no longer follow, and the well rehearsed act of periodically hitting the reload icon above Facebook's newsfeed page, are factors that might be leading me to the emotional and mental state.
I wanna sit by the window, listen to "Horses in my Dreams", and smoke a cigarette while I reflect about the current state of things. I'm still doubting on this being the right moment for that kind of insightfulness though.
Should I even be allowed to feel bumped up? Why is this always like this? You jump from expectations and excitement, to sourness and despair. I just remembered orgasms. Usually they are great. Everyone likes them, right? But have you ever had an orgasm, and felt like crying right after? I believe it happened to me at least twice in my life, and probably in very pivotal moments. It's ridiculously intimate, what I just said. I guess I just don't care that much. And besides, I believe there's only a hand full of people that's ever read this blog.
I kind of have been circling around the idea that I'm not necessarily a happy person, and that I will never be. No matter how good life is, how healthy I'm blessed to be, how interesting my life or how amazing the people I've got with me are, I'll never feel completely happy. And this feeling of unsureness will carry on throughout my life, popping up just as soon as I'm done and I have the space to irrevocably reflect on such affairs.
I'm gonna go out. The heat as eased enough for me to be able to crawl out of this trap. I think fresh air will make me feel a lot better.
