Watch Your Feelings!

Hello again! After I finished the last story and published, I still couldn't sleep. I decided to continue to write, and kicked up an old idea. I ended up writing like 3,000 words before I finally fell asleep, so most of this story. I finished it for y'all today! It's VERY long, so get ready.

Actually, this concept was similar to a different storyline I also have. I may connect them and continue this story in a different part, so look out for that.

This one is different than my other ones, I think. Hopefully y'all like it!

Time is relative, ya know? What if instead of a normal human life span, you lived for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years? One year would be nothing to you, each time one goes by, the experience you've gained grows bigger and bigger, making a single one feel like only a moment in comparison.

But let's say you were alone for those years, and with no opportunity to die. Just you and your thoughts in the same room for decades and beyond. Nothing to do, no one to talk to, only you and yourself.

You'd go crazy, right? How would you even keep yourself occupied? Whatever tricks you come up with would lose their charm quite quickly.

Now let's say you have a television. You can watch all these people and events, but never partake in them. All the problems in the news would never impact you. Live events you would never have the hope of attending. Movies you can only enjoy alone.

Not so fun, now is it?

Now, to be fair, that's not exactly my story. I don't have a television, I have the ability to look anywhere in the present time and decipher what emotions a person is feeling. A little more entertaining. I can change their emotions a little, but not completely.

I hope you get my point. It's hard to keep busy being alone so long. I have to obsess about the littlest things to keep sane.

Lucky, there are a lot of humans to keep busy with. I was able to watch their technology evolve, their society develop into what it is now. It's like a story, every part has it's place, no matter how close you look at it.

It wasn't always like this. There was a time when I was visited almost daily by humans, if you could believe. I was praised as a deity. It felt a bit odd, to be honest, but oh how I miss it. Sure, it was a bit nerve racking then. My physical form isn't exactly the most...solid, so the only way I can maintain it in front of humans is to make it incredibly small.

But when I had a form, I could actually help them. Small emotional guidance from a distance is nothing compared to actually being there and touching them, I could change their lives.

But like all things, I was erased by history. Fact turned into legend, and legend turned into myth. There's barely even any mention of me on the internet!

I'm still holding on, though. Maybe eventually I will be stumbled upon on accident, though that is unlikely, given the journey it takes to get to the top of the mountain I'm located at.

There is one human I've been following recently, his name is Lewis. He just graduated his sophomore year of highschool, and turned 16 a few weeks ago. Taylor, his long time crush, didn't show at his party, which was definitely a rager. He tried to not let it hurt him, but despite my help, it still did.

Whenever he sees her, his aura turns cold and shameful. He isn't angry, he's mournful of what could have been.

The thing is, it was never going to happen anyway. Taylor likes someone else. That someone else is her geometry teacher. They haven't done anything, thankfully, but she wants to.
