The other night someone typed a sentence into an online window and hit enter. The line hit home.

‘I make up these conversations in my head…’ He may have said dialogues instead of conversations, I can’t remember now…

Different contexts around what he meant and what it meant to me but still home-hitting. Little does it matter where a line comes from if it finds this unlabeled room inside your head without any sort of guidance and settles there as though it had found its home.

I identified with those words immediately, realizing I’d done that myself on several occasions… made up conversations… split myself into two roles to tell a story the way it felt right to me… to practice… to rehearse the future, revisit the past wite-out on hand… off a stage and in front of a camera - making editing a possibility.

Most of what comes to me infused with nostalgia, melancholy or a longing for an intangible or unattainable something doesn’t really revolve around anything or anyone in particular.

I’ve come to realize most of it is between me and me.

Aren't all the conversations between us and us in the end?...

I hope so and I hope not. It's lovely to find yourself in someone else's experience, to identify with things and people but it's also wonderful to have them be your door to a new world of experiences, just as it would be enlightening and refreshing to get an occasional splash of blue or green from a kind and red soul.
