In My Head: My Brain and I

Once I was seven years old.

I think that’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? Considering you’re just about to turn 30. Your current existence is only valid because there was indeed a time when you were seven, that is merely a statement of fact. Not new knowledge or information, as you would like us to believe.

I didn’t ask you to believe anything.

But you’ve just said it out aloud while you’re sat next to me, were you just proclaiming that into the nothingness in front of you?

What you do you mean nothingness, we’re at the park. There are people around us.

Oh so you did say that aloud to invite commentary but when I do comment, you don’t welcome it?

I would welcome it if it wasn’t so uncalled for.

Do you know that words have meanings?

What has that got to do with this conversation?

Do you know that words actually have meanings? Just answer that please.

Yes, I know. And?

And nothing. I just wanted to confirm that we’re of the same school of taught where words do infact have meanings.

And what school of taught is that? Harvard?

Harvard isn’t a school of taught, it’s an institution upholded by aristocrats to continuously perpetuate a class divide between the haves and the have-nots, the chosen and the unchosen, the ones who made it in and the ones who will never see the walls of that universe.

Every time you open your mouth, you write a book.

As opposed to?

Can’t you be normal?

What does normal mean for you?

I don’t know, just don’t be weird like you’re being right now.

What does weird mean for you?

The way you’re being right now, that’s weird.

Again I ask you, do you know that words have meanings and the exact meaning of a word can’t be replaced by one’s expectation of that word?

You think I have an expectation for words?

It appears as though you expect words to mean something else as opposed to what they inherently mean.

I’m not having this conversation with you.

Oh but we already did.

How did we even get here?

You were stating an obvious fact about yourself and I just pointed that out.

Not everything is immediately obvious to everyone like it is to you, you know.

It isn’t immediately obvious that you were once seven years old?

My God, you’re insufferable.

In more ways than one, aren’t we all?
