Heartstrings

"I gave you a potion, and you used it as lotion?!"
➳ ➳ ➳
The truth about humanity is that everything, every single part- even the smallest fragment-is temporary. Nothing ever remains. Feelings fade away, and words that used to bring out an abundance of joy in people's faces can slowly be reduced to static noise.

But what really amazes me is that despite the utter transitory nature of life, people still plunge in it with no hesitation. The part where safety nets aren't provided never crosses their minds. The part where the aching feeling of no return never registers. Everything is driven by the beating force that hangs in our chests. Even though it's covered and caged behind our rib cages, our hearts still motivate us to take action.

So when a stranger looking exactly like my dead boyfriend appears on my doorstep, offered a potion, I gulped it down with no hesitation, pure instinct, motivated by my heart.
Of course, unaware of the consequences that were to come.
