We comprehend very little of our world, yet we purport to understand everything. We look to the stars yet can’t understand what is happening before us on this little rock. We understand what it takes to keep our bodies going, yet we don’t know how we came to be.
We notice the big events in our lives, the successes and often the failures. Ingrained on our timelines are wars, famine, football results. Life on a whole though passes us by until we stop and take stock. Then we start to realise that, unknown to us, we’ve missed huge moments in our lives and take for granted all the technology that allows us to continue our existence. Yet we don’t know how we came upon these moments. Is technology just like evolution?

I looked up and saw that all three of them were looking at me. I suddenly felt self-conscious of myself. Had I been talking to myself? I knew I often did. Once someone had filmed me when I was engrossed in a task and it forever haunted me. I was having a conversation with myself, explaining something and then questioning whether it was right. I knew I did this in my head, but I’d no idea that I did it out loud. What would they think of me if I had been?
My heart started to beat faster, I could hear it really loudly, would everyone else?
DON’T BLUSH, I TOLD MY INNER SELF.
DON’T DRAW ATTENTION TO MYSELF.
God that was no good, it was making it worse.
I felt sweat beading my forehead.
DON’T HAVE A MELTDOWN HERE OF ALL PLACES.
I wanted to crawl away and hide under the nearest stone, yet I couldn’t trust myself to walk away, my legs would give way.
LOOK THE OTHER WAY, IDIOTS.
I wanted to shout at them but didn’t, at least I didn’t think so. Jesus what if I had?
I looked down back at the map.
Try to calm yourself down.
DON’T BE A WALLY
God my head felt hot, I must be blushing like mad
CALM DOWN
