The Memory under the Tree

[Chapter 6: From a Stem to a Trunk]

Still aged below 18, are you or not? Still a minor. Yes, still a kid but acts like they're not. Some may be enjoying the last of their "minority years" that's why some are still childish, and some are normal, and seem older than their age. Well, that's far better. They may be prepared or just preparing. It's better to be with people like those than to stick with some people who wants to stay young. In the real world, they can't be accepted, for they distract the world. And surely, no one wants to be interrupted while doing something good. (-_-)

You can identify who's really thinking and active and those who are not. Those who think hard and search for references may just stay silent and work peacefully. Then, those who don't like to study ideas usually end up interrupting people, speak what they do not completely know, and makes a mess.

Ever heard of "derealization"? Maybe, you just don't know what the term is for the feeling that you are still dreaming while you are still awake. :) Get my point now before you accidentally forget this. Derealization is the dreamlike state that a person feels when his/her mind relaxes while he/she is still awake. It is like nothing you touch, hear, see, taste, smell, and feel is genuine. Only the things that can hurt a lot or eating/drinking can get you out of the derealized state. Everyone is susceptible to this when they are tired, underslept, sick, or when the wind blows very light and comfortable. This is also the reason why some people are jailed. They thought that they were asleep and dreaming. :D

Derealization made a lot of problems in the lives of everyone. They have done things because they thought they were just dreaming. Maybe some of the famous artists were simply derealized while they were performing that's why they performed so great. BUT, if a student in school get derealized, THAT MAY NOT BE A GOOD THING! You can just mess in school. It's a really shameful thing, believe me. You have to keep your self together if you don't want to lose your dreams and wealth. Well, if you are already working, the only  "crack-up" that you can do is sing songs from your mind and either impress everyone or annoy your co-workers. (^_^)

It feels something like hallucination, but without the demons, monsters, clowns, and supernaturals. It's just your possessions, the things around you, the plants and trees, water, wind, clouds, or maybe even the ceiling, the walls, wood, glass, and people. The only thing that you should be afraid of when you get derealized is when you have the tendency to do something shameful.

Unlike drugs, they can pull you from reality ANYTIME IT ATTACKS. Drugs will only pull you out when you take them into your system. You'll be safe if you stick around with your family or friends. They can just slap you to get you back to the ground, while drugs will cause them to pay for the rehabilitation center. Oh, God... (-_-)

You are more susceptible to derealization when you are in love, believe it or not. Love makes you feel lighter than what you really weight. So, to make things genuine, anchor your feet to the ground for you to know if your sweetheart is real. Songs that sounds cold or dreamy can pull out some people, especially those who takes the lyrics and music seriously. They have the tendency to break out and burst in tears, so watch them carefully.

Those who are overjoyed are also victims. Too much laughter can trigger it (as I have experienced). ANY extreme emotion can be the fuse, that's why you better watch out, or you will cry. And you better not pout 'cause I'm telling you that craziness will make you fail now.

Well, let's get real again. The Earth and its elements. Men and their synthetic innovations. Love and its pains. Joy and its dark interior. Homes and the feelings they bring us. Life and its horrors. Beauty and its tempting nature. NATURE and its spoils. And finally, this book. WELCOME BACK!
