Something strange happened today
At 2:51
My music skipped
& in that moment
It felt like a switch had flipped
I didn’t know exactly why
But I started to cry
Not that I was sad about anything
Not necessarily that I wasn’t sad
I just had a feeling of finality
An outcome or consequence
Regardless of being good or bad
I was done
With what?
I’m not exactly sure
I doubt that I’m completely done
With whatever I’ve forgotten that I started
But I was Happy whatever just ended
Was finally over – whether or not
Happy knew what to feel
…
Since then
About an hour & a half now
I’ve noticed subtle changes
& I’m hoping it’s a sign of more to come
The most standout difference since the switch
Is how my world looks, or rather
How it feels to look at my world
Before, it felt almost like a hovering camera
Observing my world from a screen
Streaming the reality from a lens behind my eyes
Yet, now things feel more substantial, tactile
Like I’m actually looking through my eyes
Like, when I reach out to touch things
I’m actually gonna pick up an object
& not just feel the simulation of sensation
