I feel like people are more like the sea rather than rivers. Like a sea has no end and is ever expanding, boundless, reaches out and becomes one with the ocean. Idk why but that meeting the horizon picture of the sea really encompasses and represents an individual to me. Other things that draw the parallelism is when the sea washes out and brings something to the shore. That is similar to how people share divulge fragments of themselves to me. Ig I am not able to bring out the picture more beautifully cause it's midnight and my one eye is like totally shut. I will definitely do something to create more beautiful imagery. So yeah people and sea.
Waves. Floods—yes, rivers flood too. Yet, it is the sea, surging forth and wreaking havoc upon my land, that possesses a singular power. I do not mean to dwell on the negative aspects of human behavior, but rather to capture the captivating manner in which we become fixated on others, filling our minds like a town getting submerged, with its streets and buildings getting filled up with water level by level.
I mean rivers can do that too. But I think I am trying to capture how we perceive people in our lives. Others resemble seas and we are the steadfast land ig. Again, I am acutely aware of the colloquial and mundane language. When I started with this imagery, I was trying to describe this one person and how like a sudden wave came over my perception of their persona that made me look at them differently a bit. And how they brought forth fragments of their lives like a sea washing up a box or something to my very shore.
