Musings in real time

Where does one person end and another begin? Where do we go when we die? If a person is not buried in a hole, can it still be their grave? What's the difference between me and the words I say? What is the difference between writing to someone and speaking to them? How many words fill up a life? Does it really matter what we say? Do I have to exist every moment of every day or can I take a break sometimes? Does time really only flow in one direction? Is there such a thing as forgiving? Does anybody ever really forget anything? Does anybody ever really remember anything? If I think I remember something, did it really happen? If you don't tell anyone about something that only you witnessed, did it really happen? Can you really love someone who is not there? Can you really love someone? Can you really love? Can you really? Can you? Can you put pictures in a novel? Are they really part of the novel, then? It is really a novel, then? If you can't read all the words in a book, have you really read it? Is pointing to a word on a page the same as saying it? Is sending a letter the same as talking? Is it the same as being with someone? If you write a letter and no one ever reads it, did you really write it?

What goes through your mind if you fall 100 stories to your death? Does it feel like a long time? Does your life flash before your eyes?

How many amazing people will you never meet?

Don't you think you should write this down?

Yes.
