Matchstick For Your Muse

I just had an interesting thought.

Most days, you might feel like you're Clock Town Day 1. Happy and as cheery as a little rabbit wearing an apron and throwing together a blackberry cobbler for everyone to enjoy together. Writing stuff, looking at stuff, reblogging vivid pictures of the sky and silly little jokes that made you chuckle. Maybe a handsome dragon or twenty. Maybe you'll go to the woods later and look for sassafras roots for a nice cup of tea. Or maybe you'll just binge watch Fringe, because hey, it's summer! I've got free time. A I'm-content-for-no-particular-reason sort of mood. The I'll-do-whatever-obligations-come-my-way-with-a-little-grin mood. Or maybe the I'll-do-whatever-I'd-like-today-because-life-needs-to-be-enjoyed mood. Maybe you'll research that one thing you've been curious about for a while. Maybe you won't. Maybe you'll draw a mermaid. Maybe you won't. Maybe you'll just listen to all your favorite songs today just because your YouTube playlists need dusting. A do-nothin'-and-everythin' sort of way of thinking.

And then there are those Clock Town Day 3 days, where things are going a bit too fast for your liking, and there's some weird shadow in the back of your mind that doesn't seem to be particularly looming, but it sure as heck is there, and it might be bad, but hey, it could very well just be a shadow. Those exist too, y'know. You find yourself wanting to do something. But what? You don't have any particular cravings for food. Drawing something? No... that's not it. Writing? Maaaybe, but doesn't feel like that'll do anything. Am I tired? Nah. Do I want to go for a walk? Ehh... doesn't sound right, either. Music? A movie? A game, perhaps? You just stare at them like an indifferent cat. They might be interesting later, but... not now. Am I in one of those weird cleaning moods? Nnno. Maybe a bit of chatter with someone would help. And maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe you should work on those things you've been meaning to do. But... they seem so distant. Sure, there are ways to reach them, but for the life of you, you just don't feel like it. So... what. Do. You. Feel. Like. Doing. Eventually, you might convince yourself to do something that you thought about doing earlier. Maybe this weird aimlessness will pass, and you'll slip back into that Clock Town Day 1 mindset. Or maybe it'll pass, but you'll still feel weird. Weird in the truest definition of weird. That implacable feeling of surreality mixed with over-percieving reality and just a few dashes of something else that won't sit still long enough for you to slap a name-tag on it.

You want to be a rabbit in an apron, but for some reason, you're a winged thing that has somehow managed to start flying upside-down.
