Is it possible to be completely mute? Today I have hardly spoken at all. At lunch I learned some French and felt like I was being instructed on my mouth movements. I was being instructed on how to move my mouth. There were two aliens shaping their mouths into strange puckers of French. They were asking me to follow them onto the spaceship of puckered French lips and noises I understand when I tell jokes in English or try to make a friend laugh.
If there ever was a smallest creature, I think it would be me. I would feel the same as I do now if I was the smallest creature. Maybe when I turn 23 I'll feel like a grown-up.
I wake up everyday knowing on some level that, come midday, I'll wonder what it means to be alive. I can imagine people's responses if I were to ask them what it means to be alive. That God loves me. That I exist in space as body mass. That you are able to love. That you are an animal with a large frontal cortex.
Garbage.

About Me
- nereid
- I am a recent college grad with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I'm working in a coffee shop. I plan to pursue at phD in Counseling at George Mason University. The Nereids, however, are mystical female creatures that dwell in the Mediterranean Sea. These beautiful women were always friendly and helpful towards sailors fighting perilous storms. They are believed to be able to prophesize. As my blogger name "nereid" implies, there is a connection between me, the college student, and the Nereids. And that connection is this blog. I effectively use this blog to pretend I am not a college student. With all of the stressors of daily life this blog lets me dwell in the sea. I am, after all, a Pisces which is the fish, a water-dwelling creature. I hope my prophetic nature will show but if not there is another purpose to this blog in that it is like a journal! Please feel free to read all about my life; what's here is yours to take.
