You knew that your mind was taking over. Slowly but surely. And it scared you. Your heart knew the eventuality, but it built a facade of strength. The facade that issued admonitions to the mind every time it questioned. But frankly, the heart deep down knew that the mind was right to do so. It knew that the mind's victory was fast approaching, but it found solace in denial😭😭..

Are you talking about me???

...and on dinners like these she trapped her guests with mind pills. Pieces of sentences weaved together, when read, alter normal cognitive function. It was as though her words were a drug, one that had to be done again and again, not for one to develop a liking, or a pattern that could be likened to an addiction, but simply because they were beautiful thoughts. And her guests would come for these dinners, again and again. Prodded more after they have left, than when they had been at her table, reading her, listening, reasoning, agreeing, disagreeing, internalizing - her words.
