I might have to follow up with "This is where it all failed" soon...but for now all is well.
The Click
It’s the click. That treasured moment, that exultant moment, that oft-times rare moment where it suddenly comes to your realisation that you are indeed under. You aren’t where you used to be, no not for a second. Terrible and inane things will happen to your mind, you suddenly get immersed in a desperately warm and fuzzy tangle that makes your heart soar.
I’m talking about that familiar tingle that you know you should be feeling, it’s natural, it’s pent up inside of you for all these years. It’s been dormant in the recesses of your very personality you just cannot feel them until you reach a click state. A click state is always a good thing for both parties; it is a smooth flow of conversation, of exchange of ideas and of senses of humour. Overall the best way to describe the nature of a click state succinctly is something that far ascends all tangible levels of normalcy. It all portends something great in the future, some great feeling you know that you have been waiting to unleash for the longest time.
The click is simply a state of super-connection, a place where you are tied in from the moment you speak to one another. You click with one another and you’re set, logic doesn’t have to follow, you’re one together now in the moment. The soft and warming undulations of positive affirmation sweep over you like a gentle breeze. A most sincere feeling latches itself to your heart, lust and all other thoughts aren’t entirely swept away no, but it certainly is not foremost in your mind. You think they are perfect, especially in this moment. Where-ever you are, whoever you are with, whatever the atmosphere, even the even in the midst of contention, you will find it all slipping away - as a phantom’s shadow in the night you segue from a state of wonder to a state of pure bliss. (Dramatic!) It’s as if you are in a microcosm, a bubble of an existence where in that instant it is only you two, speaking directly to each other as if you were the only ones left, and as though you had forever to talk about anything you pleased.
Although these seem like some fairly dramatic words, it is in fact how you feel in that moment. An uncertain yet excited tension builds within you; a nervous apprehension pervades your mind, infiltrates your thoughts and in general makes you feel alright. The reasons the feelings are so strong, is because it as though flood gates have been opened and a raging rivers bursts through in torrents. People want to be together, people want security in each other an overall sense of completeness follows swiftly. Mutual respect and admiration are top goals or concerns in most people’s lives and thus weighs on their mind. As soon as the flood gates open, the river won’t stop until it is stemmed at the flow – by way of the relationship not working out. It can all be taken away, the same as everything in the world will eventually fade away or crumble.
Yet inside the click, inside this microcosm, the connection has a more prolonged sense of permanence about it, it feels as though everything you’ve ever been exposed to with regards to love and adoration are now manifest in one single moment, a typifying example of what it truly does feel to be happy – and you’ve found it in them, and in the shortest of times.
You realise without any hesitation that something special resides in this moment and you can not help but chase it down every avenue. A kind of magic surrounds you in this smallest of junctures, the sense of permanence still resides and you can’t help but feel the most absorbing feelings. You feel like you’ve known them for the longest time, you feel as though you’ve been cheated out of something by them not having been there forever – simply said, you are joyous, enamoured and intrigued, nervous, conflicted, edgy, raw and delighted. Lots of things, yeah, lots of things.
It’s not as though you are openly declaring anything right then and there, you simply know that there exists something out of the ordinary in that instant - you feel good about it.
You’re clicking if you feel at ease with them, if you feel as though this were supposed to happen or simply that you just got really lucky to find someone.
Great connections that are easily apparent can last for the longest of times, it’s not rare to find someone to like, it’s rarer to find someone to love – and love actually is, all around. You can never force a click without being someone you aren’t. It’s a natural and smooth flowing thing, two people from two separate places finding one another and then clicking – it’s a wondrous thought to even have, to think that out in the world people all over are making these sorts of connections each and every day. It’s all too easy to single out this emotion and forget all the bad in the world – but connections can be made in the most dire or volatile of situations. A soldier and a field nurse, a doctor and a patient, a simple meeting on a train between two strangers, the turn of a corner, a simple glance at a night club or simply just a boy and a girl still working out the world.
The beauty of connection in the world is still apparent, throughout the world, connections can be forged anywhere, any two people can click in any given instant, and then their future spreads out for them naturally. It won’t always work out, no, that’s not how the world works. But the main point is remembering that for one small period of time in their lives, they felt an extraordinary emotion, an extraordinary connection almost unlike ever before.
It’s better to have felt than never to have felt at all.
Life can be hard, but life is great, life is beautiful.
