For @mariannewest/day-1542-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-brown-eyes
Brown eyes. I used to feel sad that I didn't have brown eyes. "Brown eyed girl" and all that. They seem deeper. Like having blue eyes makes me shallow. WHatever weirdo
so much ugh in my belly and brain
NO FOCUS
Ok.
Steven was made out of people parts
BUT what did he FEEL
he looked at his own brown eyes. AND IT CHANGED HIM
for the better
ugh
No, let's think of story.
He is the audience insert, and he, deep down, needs to learn how to love himself.
So he goes through some trials
Wait why doesn't he love himself?
Um, because he read and absorbed some ideas about what being a man is and what being a good person is and what they have to do with eye color that he doesn't have.
You were onto something for a second, go back
He struggled to recognize the good in himself. He didn't particularly recognize himself at all actually
He saw himself as another appendage. Like, here's my arm, ending in a hand, here's my leg ending in a foot, and here's me, ending in a thought or an action or a feeling.
Feelings are all there is. how did he feel about that? He felt... sad, probably. He felt sad. He didn't consciously realize he was sad, but he was.
