Deep Dive Into The Unfamiliar:
The feeling of unfamiliarity is like diving into the deep icy waters of the unknown. The feeling is cold. The feeling is dark blue. You see grays and blacks. You see lines and figures but can’t make out what they form. Everything you know blows away in the snow storm.
The feeling of familiarity is warmth. The color is pastel orange like the oranges in a sunset. There is no trace of anything foreign in sight. The lines of unfamiliarity have untangled and dispersed into figures and forms. Your vision gets clearer. This is what you remember. This is what you know. This is your home...
... yet it is trapping. Familiarity feels unoriginal.. unadventurous.. it is like a false peace that hypnotizes your sight.
Unfamiliarity feels exciting.. adventurous. It is the gas that fuels the adrenaline’s spark. It is like walking through a cave where you cannot see 3 feet in front of you. You walk through it unknowingly. You walk through it blindly.
The funny thing is, unfamiliarity evolves. Your knowledge starts to sprout and your world gets bigger. The unfamiliar blurs start to morph into new lines.
Your vision becomes a kaleidoscope of color and shapes. The icy water doesn’t feel cold anymore. It is like the ice made you so numb that you start to feel warm. Unfamiliarity evolves into familiarity...
Eventually, everything becomes familiar. Your experience gets archived into your memory vault. Nothing will ever change until your next deep dive into the unfamiliar.
