THINGS I LOVED AND LEFT (OUT)

PARAGRAPHS AND SENTENCES I LOVED BUT ENDED UP LEAVING OUT

from The Secret Ever Keeps 

“I remember that day perfectly. Since, the months and years have become wrapped in a sort of soft-focus cotton-candy haze, but that day remains with me as if still in progress. It became the new beginning of my life. Life without her, and remains in brilliant, vivid detail in my mind, the way moments of great impact will.”

from The Vitaman Effect

Sweat drew a continent beneath his armpit; South America, complete to the tip of El Punte Del Fuego with its curved tail of rock.

There’s a beat to life. Like telephone poles beside the road to put down the base line. Between each pole? That's the part you create for yourself - all without really knowing how.

Think of existence like this. Here’s the beginning, and here’s where you are now. No matter how you measure, click, click, you’re passing the markers of your existence. They extend into the invisible future, each interval exactly as long as the one before. Problem is, you can see straight back cause the past is a straight line, but you can’t see ahead cause the future is curved. You have to imagine the future before it will bend to your will.

Oh, and another thing, once a thing is past, it stops in time, becomes fixed there forever. The future gains velocity, arrives, no way to stop it or turn it aside or even slow it down until it hits the wall of the present and stops dead.

Between is a void until you learn to see life as a big video game. You play on the stage of reality. What you put into the space between each marker is totally up to you. You can sit back and observe as nothingness slides past, or you can step into the flow and make yourself part of it and see how far you can get before the big bummer zaps you.

 The human mind tends to process emotional impulses before it processes conscious thoughts.

Somebody famous probably said this. It's too good to be mine:

In the same way profanity signals the weak mind attempting to express itself forcibly, bad simile reigns supreme in writers who reach for greatness before bothering to learn how to build a concise sentence.
