I wish that I could see the world through your eyes*

If you know me personally, you would have known that I like to eavesdrop. A lot. (Yes, I know listening to other people's conversations is rude but I can't help it. It's fun.) Well, maybe not every conversation out there. Just the interesting ones. This of course does not include a paricular "talk" which I overheard while I was waiting in line at KFC. Apparently, girl A lost her virginity to guy C who happens to NOT be her boyfriend because she was drunk and didn't know what she was doing. She recounted this loudly to girl B (who I assume is her best friend), who was in the middle of choosing which meal she'd like to buy. This of course, is disgusting. First of all, when you're drunk you always know what you're doing. You just can't help yourself. Second, I couldn't careless about some random whore's torn hymen. And third, that's just TMI. Ugh.

Anyway, earlier today I heard an interesting conversation while I was inside an elevator. A little boy and his aunt were having a discussion/argument of sorts. I only heard snippets of their talk. What intrigued was the fact that the little boy was confused and annoyed. The weird thing was, they were talking about how the world came to be aka Genesis. So the little boy was pissed at Adam and Eve or something. He couldn't undestand why Adam had to leave paradise when it was Eve who ate the forbidden apple in the first place. He asked why did God do that to Adam? Technically, it was all Eve's fault. This makes a lot of sense and personally, I really do think that God was unfair to Adam. The boy kept saying that Adam should have not been punished. They were about to leave the elevator when the aunt told the kid, "Well... What if Adam wanted to leave?"

The whole exchange struck me. The little boy wasn't cute at all but he was endearing and charming. I really like that he asked questions that I never even thought of when I was a child. Smart kids are beyond cute. But what struck me the most was the aunt's reply. Yeah, what if Adam didn't want stay in paradise? What if he really wanted to leave? What if Adam wanted to leave with Eve? My overly romantic side is kicking in right now and all I want to say is maybe for Adam, paradise won't be paradise if Eve wasn't in it. Maybe there's a different paradise for all of us and it just so happened that for Adam, paradise was Eve. Of course, this is just me guessing.

My point really is, I won't stop eavesdropping even if it's rude. Why? Because these little conversations that I overhear every now and then make me think and feel and realize things. I learn from them. So I'm never gonna stop.

You moved on. I dwell.

It's been raining and flooding a lot lately. I doubt that it'll let up anytime soon. So, in celebration of the bleak weather I decided to start a new blog (yes!) and share this song that I just can't get out of my head.











ps.
Adele's entire 21 album is love.
