Daniel Seeyer's Couch

"I don’t think I’ll EVER feel comfortable just sitting on my couch again. 😆"

Journal Entry #299

I love my couch. It’s so comfortable. I can sit for hours watching a movie, eating my dinner, or stretching out for a cozy nap. Of all the places to sit in my house, my couch is my favorite.

But lately… there’s something odd about it.

One day I was looking at it — really looking — and it felt like I was seeing it for the first time all over again. That’s when I noticed something I can’t unsee.

If I wanted to drive my couch, everything it would need to do that — a steering wheel, tires, engine, gears, gas tank, speedometer— it has! Why is that!

I’ve been sitting on my couch for years, but now I realize: every feature, every detail, seems built to support this other function. That can’t be a coincidence!

Now I'm wondering, why haven't I ever seen anyone drive a couch before?

If I told anyone what I noticed, they’d think I was crazy. In my whole life, the only thing I’ve ever seen people do with their couch is sit on it.

And yet… the more I think about it, the more I look at it, the more I feel this growing excitement. It’s like I’m standing on the edge of an ocean I’ve always known was there — but now, this time, I’m not looking back toward the shore. I’m looking out, forward, into open water.

One more thing: I don’t think I’ll EVER feel comfortable just sitting on my couch again. 😆
