Long distance.

Maybe it's because i am maintaining a long distance relationship with family and friends that makes me feel down most of the time. A relationship where i am speaking to them but don't see them, a relationship where i am talking to them with words typed on cellphones and keyboards without even using my voice, a relationship where all i need is the soul and the heart to connect to each other. Perhaps it is. When another senses degenerates, the other are heightened to pick up the slack.

Allah has made it so. For example is the brain. When one part of the brain malfunctions due to stroke, seizures or anything, other parts of the brain take it's place and functions in its stead. They take the extra load, the extra work and they really are able to do it. It is proven that when you cut off one hemisphere of the brain, the other hemisphere are able to gain new function by just experiencing it. More or less so. It's called brain plasticity if i'm not mistaken.

Memory Lane


Thus when we are far away from our family and friends and are not able to see them in person, the senses that lose their functions are sight, hearing and perhaps touch. Instead, the senses that heightens are memory, imagination, and probably love.

Just a way of me saying that i miss talking and seeing my family and friends in person. I am getting sick and annoyed with having to contact them via webcam, social network sites and telephone. It is really frustrating at times.
