I'm sure you also have had that tv-show, movie, book, manga or perhaps game where you reach the end and all you obsess about for days on end is how you are left feeling 'empty'.
Some of it is because they leave us without any real closure. Some of it is because we became so attacthed to it that we have a hard time letting go.
As a stage performer, writer and game designer this is a property I've always loved but very rarely thought about. I very rarely reflected over what lies at the core of making something truly settle in the minds of people.
That feeling of not being able to wait for the next episode.
The void of a season brake.
A book with many loose ends.
Or even a song you have stuck on repeat because, damnit one playthrough is not just enough. Give me the hour long version.
And while to many it's excruciating it is a true testament to the impact these things can have on our daily lives.
The moments of emptiness is defining us.
There is simple elegance. It's not just time invested, it's mind & heart invested. And it is that simple elegance that I want to employ in my life moving forward.
Signed, Mireneye
