darkness
i wld nv understand the agony of living in a world without colours. or a world without sounds. or a world without words. i can't even begin to imagine. everyone i know are perfect. not perfect perfect but we are in a sense 'whole'. we don't have outright physical deformities or flawed senses. and yet we still are not satisfied most of the time. and i'd reckon most of us wld imagine ourselves to be with someone perfect as well. i mean who wld, in the first place, think abt falling in love with someone who's deaf? who's crippled? we all want that perfect person, whom eventually we'll want to marry and then will want to have kids with. kids with perfect formed fingers, kids who will grow up to play the piano or violin, kids who wld bring joy to u by laughing or crying. the thought or possibility of them not having perfect fingers and toes or that they might not be able to play any instruments is way (and i mean way) at the back of our minds. some of us may nv even have that thot or even conceive it at all. but well love happens and u can't really stop it. so how wld it be like falling in love with a deaf person? a blind person? or someone who has some physical deformity? how wld it be like if i suddenly lose my ability to laugh out loud? or to even endure william hung's singing? i love colours.. and one day when i wake, i can no longer see them. what will i do? what can i do? will i start forgetting how my family sound like? what red is? how do u explain what pink is to a blind person? how i sound like? do those pple forget eventually? or maybe they didn't even have that chance to experience the wonders of the world in the first place. is their world just one singular plane? is their world as normal as ours? maybe we are the weird ones to them....
*sigh! i don't even know what the hell i'm writing abt and why i'm even up this late. i shd be sleeping and then wake up early to complete my damm readings.. but they are so tough... help!*
