Observation in The Kid Used To Dream

The way my brain works is a mystery sometimes. The thoughts that run through it, that I keep to myself, make me wonder. When I was a kid I had a very vivid imagination. I believed that we were being watched like we were in a television show. I had this insane habit of repeating myself under my lips. In my mind, I was making sure my lines were correct. I wasn’t sure where my lines were coming from but I would replay them. Sometimes, I would catch myself saying it wrong. Saying it in a way that didn’t match what I had read in books. I had and awareness that we were being watched through a screen somewhere. It was only four, maybe 5 years old. I feel like it’s ironic that in 2025 everyone is being watched on some form of screen.

I was learning to cook as a preteen. My mom says, you know the skillet is hot when a drop of water boils. As I am watching the water evaporate I noticed it actually rotated as a ring. Made me wonder - instead of black holes being holes - what if it’s just an enormous amount of heat like a drop of water boiling?

Everything seems to rotate around something hot; even when it’s not temperature related. 😉
