How are you feeling?

I have so many things on my mind I want to say but when I sat down to write, nothing comes up. My mind just goes empty. I feel empty. I can’t even think of anything.

The topic for the assignment was “How are you feeling today.” When I read the title, I thought it wouldn’t be so hard to write about how I’m feeling. But now that I’ve actually sat down to write, I don’t know how I feel.

For the past few days, my mood depends on the weather. If the weather is pleasant and it’s raining, I feel calm. But if it’s just cloudy and humid, it’s feels like something have died.

It’s been 10–15 minutes. Still nothing.

I decided to put on some music, hoping it might bring some thoughts & make me feel something. I went to YouTube and played one of my fav playlists- Old Italian Summer: a Piero Piccioni playlist.

And I closed my eyes.

Now it feels like I’m at a bistro by the beach in a small town where tourists don’t come. Waves crashing on shore, some locals working, some relaxing. I’m just sitting there, having my coffee & smoking a joint, watching people do their own thing and thinking about what to write. Maybe the ocean is what I’m missing in life that will make me feel something.

some days, it takes a foreign playlist and an imagined sea to remind me I am still trying to feel
