interlude: the drug



   What is it like to be afraid of something that you secretly want? A very common practice that people perform to each other on the daily, the gesture of reassurance that your existence is appreciated. It distinguishes respect among peers and shows that you are valued to those close to you because for a brief moment you are locked in someone else’s security knowing that you are free from any troubles you might have or that are coming your way. The thought of feeling missing is restored and the idea that you aren’t admired is to be proven wrong as you are held tight knowing that you are protected from your insecurities, for a mere few seconds the idea of “infinity” doesn’t sound so bad as you wish this moment never ends. The action where this tight bond between you and someone else somehow feels even closer when you know in your heart that nothing else matters than this moment right now. With open arms, you are welcomed to someone else’s trust as you are provided with the warmth of knowing that nobody else matters except you because you are somebody genuine with no intention of letting go until you know you are safe as they shield your worries away. Where this temporary high feels like a lifetime, where your sigh of relief soothes their soul knowing you’re in good hands.
