Light Wash Feelings
If flight was a feeling how would it feel? If flight had feelings how would it feel? There are things like flight or fight type feelings, however what i'm talking about is not that. What i'm talking about is flight by it's self. Would it be feeling like your walking on air? Feeling like you want to run away? Feeling free like you could fly? Feeling happy and joyful like a baby bird's first flight till later in life flying is just a thing and you don't find any enjoyment in it and life's lost it's luster? Well I think it's all of those, but how would I know? Instead let's ask the people and things around us, or you could ask yourself. So, i'll just go ahead and ask July and find out what it means to her and the lantern.
July lay there on her bed, holding her breath as if the answer decided whether she could breath again, to terrified to look at the mysterious and questionable lantern. "Okay, July if that's truthfully your anwser then I won't say anything." July paused for a moment, how come it's so easy? Is he lying or maybe he's hinding something. Just before July's mind could go into utter chaos, the lantern decided to speak again. "However, I want you to atleast do 3 lessons before you decide whether you can do it or not." Lesson? What does that entail? Before July could respond, or really fathom what the lantern just said, she was up in the air. July couldn't process what just happend, her mind was screaming to do something. But what?
July panicked as she saw her feet floating and the building below her. Tinny ant sized people were walking casually, some rushing, in the streets below. July's heart sped up, her heart beat ringing in her ears. What was she to do? The question kept replaying in July's mind with seemingly no anwser. July gazed up, seeing her right arm entangled with red string, she gazed up even more upward to see red balloons. These balloons however, seemed strange. The balloons were 2d and looked like a water colored painting, however the red strings seemed real. The panicked July couldn't quite understa- no completely couldn't understand.
July turned to her left and to her suprise the lantern was there. at this point I should just give up on common sense, but still this is to much, am I in some type of fantasy novel or something? If so I would like to leave. July paused again, now she knew she's going crazy, how could she possibly be in a fantasy novel, she'd be in a magical realism of course. Before July could regain her composure, well more like bearings, wait that's a bear. She had decended on to the ground on a busy street, and there, out popped a big grizzly bear, who looked 2d and like a light washed water color painting.
July was in awe at how cute and soft the bear was and how the atmosphere around it was also cute and soft, or maybe fluffy. "This is Bimbey, they are also guiding a person to understanding life and themselves. Those balloons are Bimbeys. Bimbey will show you the feeling, flight, and the feeling Bimbey liked to call, light wash." chimed the lantern. Somehow July felt relaxed by the bears aura. Also flight isn't really a feeling, or is it? Bimbey stared down at July with button black eyes that shone with innocence. "Bimbeys a good listener, and often makes people relaxed, so please come talk to her if you feel stressed or anxious, you could also talk to me of you want." While talking, July noticed that the balloons strings didn't wrap around Bimbey's arm like it did with July. But before July could ask she was interupted by the lantern. "How's Ruu?" July's thoughts immediately went to who's Ruu. "Ruu's having love issues, he doesn't know how to approach the guy he likes." Bimbey softly spoke. "The guy he likes is named Angel, Ruu said Angel's really cool but cute and how he likes fashion and sewing." Reminds me of the Angel I know, however he wasn't really considered cool back then, besides he should be visiting his grandparents right now. Bimbey gasped. "I'm so sorry july, let's start the lesson now."
"First, I believe the feeling of light wash is when you feel really heavy and gloomy but then something makes you really happy and you feel light and your mind is clear, and all the anxious thoughts disappear." Bimbey chimed, her eyes shining like dew. No anxious thoughts? But how, anxious thoughts are always at the back of my mind. Why? Why am I taking in all of this so easily? Theres a floating latern and a 2d bear, how is this possible? The mention of anxious thoughts must have been a trigger to July's mind, circles of questions without anwsers. Her mind feels like she's chasing the anwser but this whole time she's been chasing her anxious thoughts while going in a circle, never ending and without a anwser in sight. When did you become like this July?
