THE “NONSENSE” IS THE POINT; maybe.
<p>I’m trying to write.. and somewhere between the first sentence and the next, I stop and wonder;</p><p>“Does this actually make any sense?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Because sometimes I have a thought that feels important in my head, but the moment I put it into words, it looks… silly.</p><p><br/></p><p>Nonsensical, even.</p><p><br/></p><p>Like watching a mother use her mouth to suck the mucus out of her child’s blocked nose. Ewww! 🤢</p><p><br/></p><p>Some people would rather look away. Some<a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://away.Some" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a>would gag. Some would probably say, “eww! That is disgusting!”</p><p><br/></p><p>And honestly?I understand them.</p><p><br/></p><p>But, watch the mother.</p><p>She isn't thinking about how disgusting it is. She's thinking about her child breathing better.</p><p><br/></p><p>The same thing that looks revolting to one person can look like love to another.</p><p><br/></p><p>And that got me thinking;</p><p>“Is there actually a nonsense?” Or is something only nonsense because we haven't understood it yet?</p><p><br/></p><p>A child can spend twenty minutes arranging bottle caps on the floor and be completely absorbed in it. An adult walks past and thinks, What a waste of time.</p><p><br/></p><p>But perhaps the child isn't wasting time.</p><p>Perhaps they're building a world.</p><p><br/></p><p>We do this with people too.</p><p><br/></p><p>We call someone's dream unrealistic because we can't see what they see.</p><p>We call someone's silence strange because we don't know what happened before it.</p><p>We call someone's choices foolish because we don't understand the story that produced them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe nonsense is sometimes just “meaning we haven't discovered yet.”</p><p><br/></p><p>And perhaps that's why I'm still writing this.</p><p><br/></p><p>I don't know exactly where this thought is going. I don't even know if this makes sense.</p><p><br/></p><p>But maybe it doesn't have to.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe some thoughts deserve the chance to exist before they're required to explain themselves.</p><p><br/></p><p>So…</p><p><br/></p><p>If you've made it this far,</p><p>perhaps this wasn't nonsense after all.</p><p><br/></p>
