My mind tank E-1
The world is a
complex place filled
with pain and joy or everyone
says so. But I don't think so. Who am I? I am Maria Venters, a twenty something
girl. And yes, I am not telling you my exact age.
According to me there is your inner conscience. I do not
believe in miracles but I hope they happen someday. I do not believe in love
but I desire for it. I do not believe in being nice but I feel happy when I
help someone.
Does this make me weird? I hope it does because I pride in
myself for being called weird, where is fun in being normal.
I look around me
and see people going on about difficult and painful things not bothered with
the good around. I, I try to be optimistic. I am not a dreamer but I love
imagining myself in an impossible scenarios. Sometimes
I put world to test, to see how much of which I imagine or
read is true.
Test entry 1:
My first trail was on my friend, Emily Bennett. I wanted to
see if she was the loyal, chirpy and ready to sacrifice girl friend to me. This
is how it went.
"I haven't studied a bit for Math test. What about
you?" I said completely truthful. I was a last minute worker.
"Relax El, neither have I. We still have three days,
it's a long time. We are having a night out , right?" She confirmed not
meeting my eyes.
Lying to someone's face is an acquired skill, which I guess
I have developed but Emily might have felt guilty lying to me.
Everyone knew she was a math genius but never once she
offered to help me or asked me if I wanted help. I am with too much of an ego
or let’s say I am not the kind to force someone to do something they didn't
want. The
Pain never came that she lied or the fake joy that we both
are on the same page and didn't study. But the inner conscience did tell me
that how Emily was not a good friend , how she lied to my face and wasn't the
book
Described best friend.
Naturally three days letter she got an A on her test while I
had a B-. It didn't bother me but when she turned and gave me Botox smile of
sympathy and said, "Next time I am sure you will do better." My inner
conscience
wanted to kick her but my outer version smiled back and
nodded like I believed her.
One day I asked her, "Will you sacrifice myself like
Ron and Hermione very ready to do for Harry?" A weird question, yeah, but
that's just me.
"Of course. We are friends forever." She said with
so much conviction that even I believed for a second.
And the very next day, she 'forgot' to tell me that it was
last date to enter for Programming internship. Naturally I would have missed
the deadline had it not been for my god send teacher who filled out the form
for me.
So much for friendship.
Test 1 #moral I do not understand the word friend in real
world since it is potrayed so nicely in movies and books. When did friends and
deception became relatives?
Test entry 2:
It was done on my boyfriend of six months, Aaron Wakefield.
We started college together and I was in love. Or I thought so. Kissing like
world goes blurry and knees go week, well doesn't happen in that exaggerated
way.
But yeah for most part it was good. I texted him, he texted
back. We went on dates, watched movies.We were diferent, he was a music major
and I was pursuing a Computer Science degree, we were art and technology
combined. It would have gone fine If I hadn't had the
putting the world to test disease. Or blame the perfect romance books and
movies.
I did the test in only way I could imagine , a bit cliché.
"Aaron, so what do you think should I make a 3D game
for minor project or an online library?" I asked having no reason to make
him choose, I had my opinion ready.
"Whatever gives you joy love." He said turning to
me and replying as if he listened and understood what I said.
My inner voice told me not to pained because he would be
failing my test or not to be overjoyed since I fill have my freedom again.
I hate texting.
But he gave a
response so I was happy. I heard every word he said about his instruments, his
tunes, his songs, his lyrics and even heard him play slow boring tunes that
could make a dead sleep.
So I just wanted his attention in return on the things I
like. I tried talking about my work, he pretended to listen. I tried talking
about Avengers, he nodded and smiled. I changed the topic and tried talking
about Sci-fi movies, which boy doesn't have interest in Mission Impossible,
Aaron didn't. He started making excuses or changes the topic after a while.
Opposite attracts...please! That is just magnets, people
need a mutual liking for something to start the talk and more to keep talking.
I realised I cannot survive with a boy who liked Notebook more than Iron Man!
Test 2 #moral You do not love someone perfect, someone who
loves you will find you perfect for whoever you are...
Oh, I have more test subject and results...but I will not
shatter any dreams and thinking. because humans are followers , we follow
traditions and someone breaking that is an outcast. Go out, have friends, live
life, fall in love...but there is this ugly truth. In the end what left to
share the evening tea with you is you and your inner conscience and hell yeah,
it talks.
