It’s all we see. It consumes us. It is our reality. But what is it really? Nothing but a mere image projected on to an intricate layer of highly specialized cells. Almost instantaneously capturing moments. Breakable, taint-able, albeit, powerful. It is worth noting how easily perceptions can be altered. All it takes is a single beam of light to pierce through one’s pupil like a bullet, projecting an image that can never be unseen or forgotten. I think this is relatable to many. What you have seen influences how you perceive everything moving forward. It’s a powerful thing, moments.
