I’m not really sure where to begin, and I know commas aren’t strictly supposed to act as pauses, but I use them like that anyway. It feels as though as some point in the last two months I fell into a pond, and only now am I beginning to climb out because in some ways the pond was quite a comfortable place to be. In fact I probably began to climb out of the pond when I exited the bathtub last night, having sat in there for perhaps two hours.
I have a whole wardrobe of clothes that I have been saving for a 'special day' and these are perfectly everyday type clothes, yet somehow it is tough to steer away from the two sets of old clothes I rinse and repeat. Your analogy of socks is very accurate. It is the point which we pass everyday and on that point, each day, the choice we make also makes our illusion.
Loved to read this, thank you for the effort you put in this. :)
Thank you Juveriya–it's lovely to hear that my odd analogy resonated with you. We do tend to get sunk into the strangest, repeating rhythms, and as you say there are all these tiny points we pass, noticing and not-noticing.
Well done Ella! For me, swimming in the (actual) pond near my house might be the only way to climb out of that other (metaphorical) pond I've been stuck into.

I find any sort of swimming usually helps with the climbing-out of things! I wish you the most best with your pond-getting-out-of.
