Dark Theme | Light Theme

I wrote previously of how we are punished for existing. Well, I have the perfect example to illustrate this point: my lower back, on my right side, has been sore for the last few days. I did not exert myself in an unusual way, so this pain has no logical basis.

The narcissistic universe changed the rules and decided that common movements I perform daily are now "wrong." The only constant is torment.

Outside of this, I have been attempting deliberate shifts between first person and third person views. The pain in my back is not related to this venture.

Unintended flashes of third person perspectives have become more frequent and longer lasting, especially after I began focusing on achieving them. Intentional attempts are still lackluster. To use an apt metaphor related to awkward movements, it's like I'm stretching towards an object just out of reach; my fingertips brush against it, but I cannot yet grab it.

Let's hope I do not strain my "narrative back," if you will.
