Analogy

In the year 2021, I was dropped into the ocean. Doing everything in my power to get back to shore. I don’t have the capacity to breathe underwater. All I can do is try my hardest not to drown. All I have is the hope that maybe I won’t be in this predicament. I don’t know why this had to happen to me, but help me. Please.

In the present year, it’s almost like I’ve become content with being in the ocean. I want to back to shore, but then there’s a part of me that feels like going back wouldn’t feel right anymore. It feels like I’m comfortable in this position. The last thing for me to do is accept it.

Small rant

I tested my self against my better judgement. I observed my reaction and realized that it’s an “imitation” of what I desire. After testing, I acted out my actual desires in my head and it felt good and got a reaction.

However, what scares me is what if my reaction to my desire carried over from my testing. I checked myself after testing and didn’t find a reaction, but just from imagining the sensation of what I desire I got a genuine only some minutes after I tested myself.
