Imagine thinking you will get from the beginning of this blog post to the end without interruption.
Now imagine it a different way.
Imagine you begi n a sentence on ly to have it break apart. Then, perhaps it works for a while, and you get used to the fluidity and ease of movement. Your eyes begin to follow the expected path, from left to right, when it br eaks up agai n.
Now imagine living like that.
Imagine you're just trying to go to the store, to school, to work. It should be a short trip, right? You walk or you drive or you take the train. There are expected delays, like traffic lights or waiting for the bus to come on schedule.
But then, you get pulled over for a busted tail light. Again.
Or you get followed, and you don't know why, so you have to change your travel plans for your own safe ty, because you don't know what their plans are for you.
Or someone who matches your descript ion did something, so you need to be checked out, just in case.
You would be come accustomed to living with interruptions, and when they didn't come, you would wonder when they would arrive. You couldn't get used to smoothly moving from one place to another because
you would never know when the situation would get back to normal or messed up or as messed up as nor mal. You would have to be on constant aler t.
This does something to people psychologically. If you made it to the end of this blog post, I am mildly surprised; if you gave up on it, I'm not. It is a bothersome thing to be interrupted constantly when all you want to do is go from Point A to Point B smoothly and automatically. If you have no idea what this blog post is about, I am very happy for you; some people have to live like this blog post was written. If you understood it, I'm sorry.
We've arrived at the end safely. May your other journeys be smoother than this one.
