Impulse

To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human.

~The Matrix

Impulses can be good, can be bad or can just be 'there.'

Have you ever felt that you just need to sprint down the street or even take a bag and start traveling?

I have. The second one, I plan to do when I'm older. Just grab a bag with toiletries, my wallet, couple changes of clothes, a couple other needy things and go to random places.

Impulse.

It has a different meaning for every person.

1. An Influence
2. An Involuntary Action
3. Instincts
4. A Force that Propels You
5. A Psychic Drive

Each meaning can have a good or bad outcome, with good or bad intentions.

I stick to the good, hopefully you do too...


We don't have impulses because we are human. We are human because we have impulses.

Try to blot it out, scrub
                it out, rip it out of my
brain completely.
                But you can't forget
something like that,
                No matter how much you

drink, snort, or shoot into
                your veins. The memory
stalks you forever and
                creeps up to maul you
like a rabid dog, when
                you least expect it.

Like now.
