I have conspiracy theories when I walk on the sidewalks of Valiasr. Conspiracy theories about my past and my future, about my ex-girlfriends and my current friends, about my academic goals and about my career opportunities. I don't stop to think. I walk. I walk.
I look at faces. None of them are familiar. Sometimes I think they're attractive and sometimes I think they're not attractive at all. I wonder if I saw any of my girlfriends form the past in the street as a stranger, would I think they're hot? I'm not so sure.
I don't give myself the appropriate time to think about myself. To think about my injured leg. To think about my university tasks. I am leading an average life. What happened? I can't think of a good enough conspiracy theory. I haven't come up with one. Not yet.
Conspiracy Theory Number One: I WILL NEVER HAVE MY LEG BACK!
It might be true. It might not. I don't know. The doctor didn't say anything after he saw my x-ray photos. Told me nothing to worry about. But it still hurts. Very rarely, but a lot. This is the most important conspiracy theory of my life at the moment since it will change the way I travel for the rest of my life. And what am I, without travel, really? (This is, on its own, another completely different conspiracy theory: I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TRAVEL THE WAY I DID, which I thought to put it in one number since my injured leg is the root cause of that. Makes sense, right?)
Conspiracy Theory Number Two: MY PAST RELATIONSHIPS WERE ALL SHIT
This one is less likely to be true, but you can never know. It's just the way with conspiracy theories. You can never know. I know I'm not a shitty person in general. I know I have good sides and bad sides; I have a pretty realistic understanding of myself. But I do have the feeling that I never had a really deep and meaningful relationship with someone. No one has truly understood me and I have never truly understood anyone (to suck on Goethe's). And the sad thing is that I don't think my chances of having one is going to increase in the years to come.
Conspiracy Theory Number Three: I WILL LOSE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
This one is inevitable, I guess. Parents die. Brothers and sisters are better kept at a distance. Friends move out of the country (or I will). It's just the way it is and always has been. It's only normal to think about this. This one is not a conspiracy theory; the aliens are really coming for us this time.
Conspiracy Theory Number Four: I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY THOUGHTS AND LIFE AND AM BOUND TO FAIL AT MY GOALS
I guess you can infer this last one from the text, but it has a life of its own as well. I have had this theory or quite a long time but I haven't seriously thought about it. (Thinking about it seems to be the - logical - cure).
