you're living in a fantasy
it's hard to put my finger on what i feel right now. dizzy, nauseated, feverish. some mysterious affliction trapping me into sporadic moments of being able to do something useful. keeping my mind trapped in this serious battle that i have with my own body.
no, it's not that sad little twit battle that most women have with their own bodies. "i hate myself, i'm not a size 2." fuck that shit. go eat a tapeworm. give up your twiddling little life and go live in an area where survival is key. where you can lose all of the weight you want due to dysentary. but that all sounds bitter, doesn't it?
i guess i'm just angry with my body. we have an adversarial relationship as i believe that it holds me back from doing what i need to do with it's petty weaknesses. its flu-getting. its low-blood sugaring. if evolution is to be believed, then shouldn't i have progressed past some of this stupidity by now? *sighs* no, i guess not. but i often think that in caveman days i would've been burned at the stake or at the very least left out on a rock to die by now.
in the midst of these spells where womanly cramps hit in waves on top of the nausea from low bloodsugaring along with the brain bubbling of a fever, those fates sound... well... reasonable. good. productive. like for better or for worse, things would be settled. but i'm playing with myself. i know that's about as twiddling a concern as those wanting to be skinny. that doesn't diminish my own anger with my body, though.
i had a dream once where i was visited by time-traveling floating heads. they had come back in time to hold me personally responsible for their not being able to exist from a poor choice i'd made in my life. that natural human evolution would've been to finally do away with the body and for heads to levitate on their own brain power. that i'd chosen a life more based in carnality was robbing them of their own existance (i guess i'd made a different choice before? i don't know. it makes about as much sense as a spielberg movie, i understand that).
on reflection, i see that as my own fantasy of escaping this prison of my own body... becoming a being without such shuddering bouts of pain.
