Everyone has experience it. That horrifying feeling when the independent observer in your brain watches as your body moves against its will. Your finger clicks the mouse just as you realize that you have not saved your work. The glass of juice slips through your loose fingers. You begin to fall only to realize your hands are filled with groceries, helpless to do anything but watch. In movies these moments are always depicted in slow motion, the victim emitting a prolonged “nooooooooooo!”
This is the state of my life. My observer screams a thousand admonishments every day only to see my recalcitrant self failing to act upon any of it. With ever greater velocity I slide toward the brink of destruction and see myself making no effort to prevent it.
The inevitable has been delayed time after time, but cannot be cheated forever. One way or another this must end soon.
