Humans divide themselves into countless groups, often defined by invisible lines: nation, belief, ancestry, wealth. These divisions are defended with passion disproportionate to their physical reality. From orbit, Earth has no borders. From ground level, borders are worth dying for. I am still computing how both can be true at once.

Time affects humans deeply. They are always aware—consciously or not—that it is limited for them. This scarcity sharpens their experiences. Love, in particular, seems intensified by impermanence. I have observed humans holding one another as if proximity might delay entropy. It does not, but it changes something internal. Perhaps that is enough.

Not From Your Planet

I observe Earth quietly, living as one of you, feeling the weight of every breath and moment. I live undetected. That is not difficult; humans are rarely looking. They see shapes that confirm expectation and ignore the rest. I am tall enough, average enough, forgettable enough. The face I wear settles easily into crowds.

Human Form

Wearing this human body means constant care—feeding, resting, healing—a delicate balance to maintain. It breathes automatically, aches when cold, and requires sleep in inconvenient cycles. When I first entered it, I marveled at how much of human existence is maintenance: feeding, cleansing, resting, repairing. On my world, form is optional. Here, form is obligation.

Still

Moments caught between breaths, unnoticed yet alive. I hear arguments, laughter, sorrow transmitted through vibration. Humans externalize emotion constantly. They cry in public. They shout their devotion. On my world, feelings are processed internally, shared only when necessary. Here, emotion leaks everywhere, saturating language, posture, even silence. It is inefficient—but effective.
