///OVERDOSE///

TA: IF i have enough money
i would really like to make a short stop by singapore
Z: If I have enough money I'll leave singapore
it's uninspiring here
TA: i always find it inspiring there.
but i guess any place is inspiring in small doses.
as is any person.

I've just had this epiphany that I must write of swiftly & succinctly. That is, everything can be related to drug addiction. Any place is fabulous & novel in small doses every now & again but actually living in any place becomes tedious & boring. Any person is interesting & engaging in small doses every now & again but actually being with that person 24/7 causes you to run out of things to speak about & often induces unnecessary madness.

Things change, yes. But if we are there to witness every millisecond of the process, we don't notice that change. We never get the chance to take a step back to watch it & appreciate it.

So, in saying this, I believe in needing to take breaks from things every now & again. I wish for things to remain fresh to me always. I neither wish for things to become lackluster to me & grow on me like mold nor do I wish for them to become pesterous.

Too much of something is like overdosing on a drug. Too much of a place or person can cause you to lose your zest for life
if not your life in its entirety.

..well, I seem to think so anyway.

Never outstay your welcome/
Just keep your mind open/
& suck in the experience/
& if it hurts, you know what/
It's probably worth it/
