#aristotles

In honor of Eren’s birthday, here is my 10th fact about him :)

The bitterness sits in my stomach. Still there from the night before. I texted him. It was long. So long, too long It was every feeling, I had since we stopped talking. Part of me does not regret it yet. Part of me wishes he would answer. Revealing the truth that he Was scared and pulled away. But now he is finally ready. Part of me is glad He has not replied. It is easier to forget him This way, or try to at least. I still have his contact saved. I am not sure why. Maybe in a desperate hope that These ashes are capable of life. Maybe it is to remember When we were carefree and happy. Before the storm made me See who you truly are. Maybe it is a warning, a headstone To whatever we once were. A reminder to myself to Never feel this vulnerable again.

“The first step in the Peripatetic arguments is Aristotle's proof of the completeness and perfection of the world. For, he tells us, it is not a mere line, nor a bare surface, but a body having length, breadth, and depth. Since there are only these three dimensions, the world, having these, has them all, and, having the Whole, is perfect. To be sure, I much wish that Aristotle had proved to me by rigorous deductions that simple length constitutes the dimension which we call a line, which by the addition of breadth becomes a surface; that by further adding altitude or depth to this there results a body, and that after these three dimensions there is no passing farther, so that by these three alone, completeness, or, so to speak, wholeness is concluded.”
