Two Things
August 31st, 2008 by solitudeismyreligionTwo things I’m amazed at now: writing and sex.
Mama
was a voracious reader and influenced I was. Along the way, reading
became enough not, a creation of thy own is scuffing my being hence,
the need to write. Writing has always been my best companion - second
to smoking that is - as well as talking it eases emotional pain not to
mention it comes handy. Writing too keeps me in touch with myself –
reading the things I write allow me to look at myself as how others
would probably look at me and realize something about me. Someone once
said that “one cannot write without knowing thyself.” Indeed. But the
other way around is as real as it could get too that being, writing
helps one to come to terms with herself, a way to self-knowledge. But
writing is no easy feat. There are just too many words flying around
the head, flirting with the hand to be chosen, written, given life. I
need to hear myself when I write, writing and not hearing your voice is
as good as not writing at all. Writing is mind-hand-heart-coordination
at its finest. This makes writing no easy feat, and more. And more
could mean metaphysical, romantic, academic, economic, creative
constraints, and more. Could also mean deadlines, presswork, legwork,
competitive skills, interpersonal relations, responsible and “just”
journalism or simply school newspaper responsibilities vis-à-vis rep’s
vis-à-vis academic load, social life. Got in at Kule. After the
interview, I wondered why I applied in the first place. The obvious
reason of course is because I want to write no make that, the need to
write. But now I’m frightened. I’m always like this when faced with
something I love the most, includes loving a person. I become the pussy
I have, I then start musing of the more comfortable what-ifs. Wondering
how normalcy feels.
Talk
about pussy, leads me to the second thing that amazes me now, sex. Sex
is always amazing ok, let’s make that interesting at least (because
yes, not always…wwhhyy am I writing about this?). Ah, because a friend
and I learned that we have something in common and that friendship is
indeed sharing (hah!).
I’ve had “unconventional” (what does that
mean?) philosophies about sex. Meaning, I now wonder how it feels like
to make love (ok, so this is called orgasm: have you seen yourself very
vulnerable? Look at me not please). I remember once feeling it, but
looking back now I realize it was just the dawn – the romance of its
lighting. A friend told me God thinks I’m hot. Sure, God is a woman
after all. Wait, who is God?
Being
a woman is wonderful as it is sad. A woman just does not open her legs
and lets the exit of a young fragile soul. On the same manner, she lets
enter older souls, able to touch that same fragility when it first
breathed life. A woman opens her legs, welcoming the dreams, fears,
anguish, lust, idiocy, wisdom and love mastered by that soul. It’s
power, you know. But like a mother whose sons and daughters are off to
college, a woman is then left only with memories and glimpses of that
soul and with it, the resiliency to be welcoming more and more, the
power of being human. Have you welcomed a soul lately?
So many amazingly wonderful things, eh? But amazed I need not, be excited, yes.
PS:
God is love, they say. Hmm, make-love with love. Now, that’s exciting.
