There are many things that happen in the background of my mind. Some of the things I think about in the background are the expectations I have of the people around me. Sometimes its a running awareness of events that are happening around me, and what I need to do to manage them. Sometimes, it’s a song I had a chance to listen to, and I might have been pondering about it through the day.
Other times, in the background, my mind goes to dreamlands. I imagine myself in a cool country, and I imagine that the world I’m currently facing is the facade. Then somewhere in my head, it snaps and I realise that I’m in the middle of sweltering heat, trying to cope with the work that I have to do, and getting bitten by mosquitoes all at the same time.
Background things are never said aloud. But it’s really nice to actually say them aloud sometimes. It makes you hate the present reality a little bit more, and it makes you wake up and realise that you want to fight for something bigger than you.
