Stories of Lines

We studied parallel lines during geometry and according to Euclid, parallel lines are equidistant lines that don’t meet, no matter how far you extend them, they will never meet. And I think that this is kind of tragic.

Parallel lines have a lot in common; they have the same distance from each other, the same direction, they belong to the same plane and they both go on forever. This is sad because even though they’re so much alike in many ways, they will never meet; they will never be given the chance to share a conversation, an experience or even a pick-up line. They’re like soul mates that never became lovers or best friends that never became friends. Just think of what will happen if everything in the universe was like that, that everyone who has many things in common would never meet. The world will just be filled with debates, contrast and possibly war because the only person that you will ever come across will have a different opinion. There will be no understanding and if the world will be like this, everyone will be alone.

But every other pair of line is just as sad of a story as parallel lines because all the other lines meet at one point but they end up drifting farther apart from each other forever. They’ll meet once and never meet again, no matter how much you want to cross paths for a second time; you just can’t seem to find each other. Isn’t that sad? Just imagine, you finally found a friend or someone you like or agrees with you but you have no choice but to leave each other, forever.

But if people were lines, and I’d have to choose one, I’d choose to intersect, even though I know that it would only be once and even though I know it would never last, at least I know what else is out there. I’d rather feel both bliss and loss than never feel them at all, I’d rather come across the most amazing person and be left than to have never met him/her at all and I’d rather experience loss than not knowing what is there to lose because I’m contented with me knowing that I exist in the same plane with such being and with having the knowledge that I once existed in the same space and time with him/her. But unlike lines, we human beings were gifted with the power of choice. We could choose who we keep or who we leave behind and I never knew how lucky we were to have this kind of power until now.

It Is Not My Fault

Today I failed a test... But cross my heart and hope to die, i really did try to study.

The thing is, studying and I just don't go together, we can't co-exist in the same time and space with each other. For example, whenever I try to read a text book my imagination becomes really active (specially when I try to study world history) and thus, I can't study. My mind starts to wonder, one moment I'm reading about what happened in China during the 1600's, then the next I'm wondering what I would do if I had fairy godparents, who takes pictures of airplanes when they're already in the sky or where do all the nail clippings go. And if that's not it, i simply just fall asleep.

Also whenever I try to study I start getting hungry. I don't know if that's only boredom or if thinking makes digestion faster but all I know is that I just need to chew and if I don't I'll start breaking things. I always try to convince myself that i can study while I'm eating but the truth is, I just cannot. I suck at multitasking, my brain can't focus on two things at the same time. So whenever I try to study while eating, my brain chooses to only focus on chewing and swallowing which is very irritating if I might add.

So these are the reasons why you really can't blame me for failing World History. Instead, blame it for being boring and difficult. And please remind me again, why do we need to study things that happened 10 bagillion years ago?
