Disabling my lights
Continuously, in
All spaces
Out of
Refined routine
And perhaps, some slight
Right intentions
Showing again
That
Habits are
Timeless

At some point in my life, I decided I liked drinking coffee. I don't remember when that happened, and there are many things like it.
I also developed a hatred for ads at some point, perhaps because I don't particularly appreciate feeling like the easily manipulated sucker I am. But I know that the right ad still manages to entice me occasionally.
For example, I bought these expensive Philips Hue light bulbs. Who knows why? I barely use the features they provide. It's overkill, but controlling my lamps from an app is pleasant. I suppose.
Somehow, these expensive lights keep turning off in a way that requires the manual light switch instead of the app to turn them back on.
When I was a young boy, probably until I was 20 years old, I was scared of monsters in my parents' house. But when I moved into my apartment, where I thought no monster ever could come and which was way smaller, I stopped being scared.
It took me months to figure out what was turning off my lights. To do so, I had decided to sit in the corner of my living room, dressed as a painting, with the lights on, and to wait and see when they would turn off.
And then it happened. The door opened, and my girlfriend, who I now realize might be a monster too, came in, used the light switch to turn off my lights, and walked away again.
I couldn't believe it. I still can't.
