Feelings of unreality

I wrote this September 5, 2010. 12:08am

There it comes, that old familiar feeling , the feeling of unreality. It's as if nothing is real or familiar, it's as a dream, a distant memory..unreality. Why should it ever seem real, why do we look forward to a future that has already become the past, yet has not yet begun. Every moment, Naye, every second, bacomes the past. We forever live in the past for the future is unfortold and at the moment it becomes the present,it is truly the past. Time is eternal yet non existant. We see something that darts us into unreality and the feeling that you're in a dream or a memory. It's because we are in a memory, we truly never recollect all our lives, rather bits and pieces and feelings of emotion. For instance. In your mind, try to imagine your exact thoughts as you read the word " try" in this sentence. Not that easy huh? Try it for every last word you read, you will never truly remember your entire thought. Time, as we call it, goes so fast because we live in the past. This moment, in let's say, a month from now, will feel like so long ago. Ten years from now and you will hardly remember it at all and before you know it, it's an eternity and there's still eternity to go. If we live to create a great past we will live great futures to remember as past, only to recreate an infinte number of great pasts to look forward to, yet the looking forward only leads to a great past. Haha it could stay going. The end.

Great way to put this:)! Sometimes feel like this after a relationship when I really want to be with the person again. I feel like our past relationship was a dream and I'm still waiting for reality to let us be together. I often live in the past even when I don't want to. Great rant / write:)!!

And when you have problems with memory such as I do, it's a curse and a blessing. I can forget the unpleasant things, but I can also forget the good times that I want to remember from the past!

Thanks for taking the time to read my writing :) time is vicious

[wordwarrior]

Well you're quite right Michael and the moment is the past almost in synchronisation with time and then those moments jostle together to become an almost forgotten blur!
Very thought provoking!
Spill ink and dance!

Interesting read here...I wish you put in stanzas...would read easier...I saw a couple errors in there...but you seem to get into details here with this subject matter and dwell in the lines with it...
