13.05.17 - Coma
Sometime when things in my life appear too weird to be real I wonder if reality is just something my mind dreamed up to occupy myself while I lay somewhere in a coma*. Though it would be sad to find out all my memories were false, the upside would be I would have written March Madness (seeing as future is a figment of my imagination). I'd be rich!
Today I had to question reality again. When I returned from work I found a circus next to where I lived. A circus appearing seemingly with no warning. As I walked past a brass band playing a jaunty tune, clown, and a tightrope walking child traverse between two building I saw a sign I have vague memories of.
"CIRKL, het Circus Festival Leuven! 12 tot en met 14 mei"
I've given up trying to learn dutch. Warnings of the emergence of a circus outside your door can pass you by when you've given up trying to understand the world around you.
I'll be honest though, it was a nice surprise.
