I Have No Room For Imagination

Many people who have lived through a near death experience often say that they had seen their entire lives flash before their eyes. I have never come very close to death, but I have seen my life flash before my eyes. On break from work, I was sitting in the employee lounge all alone and nearly asleep when all of a sudden my life just started playing extremely fast in my head. It was all there, the good times and the bad, and it was, well, weird. I seemed to have no control over it. It just happened. I wonder if I really did just barely miss death and had no idea about it.

It's amazing how vivid your memory can be. Sometimes your able to close your eyes and see a room you haven't been in for years, with everything in its proper place. You can look out a window that is miles away and see a sunset at 1 in the morning. You can feel the soft skin of someone who wont even talk to you anymore, and for the most part you don't want to talk with either. You can be happy when happiness doesn't seem to make sense. You can be alive.

Maybe I did just dodge death. I guess I'll never know. Still, isn't life, and I mean real life, just a series of running away from death. Maybe, I'm just starting to live.

i always say that imagination is curiosity temporarily satisfied until truth takes over.

i guess you're talking more about a crystal clear memory than imagination tho.

i would watch the people you work with, maybe one of them was trying to end it all when you were almost asleep.
