psychelistic












i can't say anything smart. i feel numb and bored. my dreams slip away into the darkness as soon i wake up. had painted nails twice a day, brush hair and teeth, clean around a little bit but it's all. i'm waiting for a conclusion. what reminds me psyche, mythological character whom venus gave tasks to do to prove be worthy of eros' love. since psyche had discover eros face she was lost him. "trust above all", he said. yes, love is about a really big blind jump of faith. now she wants him back and is ready to do anything. 
at first Venus gave psyche to worry and sadness, to be whipped and tortured. nice. after that venus demand that she sort a great mass of cereal. wee. then she has to fetch golden wool from violent sheep. good. Then she is send to underworld to get a dose of proserpina's beauty. yay. and at last she fells on a bewitched sleep. great. 
so the myth show us how to overcome a lost love whether we fail in the trust part -- cry your eyes out, do some absorbing task, fistfight someone, then die and sleep forever. beautiful advice from the greeks.
in the same apuleios' eros and psyche book the protagonist lucius regains human form after been bewitched, by eaten roses. kinda kidding, right? did we learn nothing from psyche tragedy? will we fall in love again? no, is the right answer. back off, greek myths!
not entirely true. in fact psyche wait the bugs select the cereal, collect wool from branches and she peek on the forbidden box, stupid girl. which means there is a time to suffer, a time to wait, a time to reccollect and a time to deeply grieve and finish it.
job done. easy, huh?
