THINGS YOU RECOGNIZE WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG AURA

That man in the green jacket doesn't touch me, but I feel that he's too close to me. He just pokes around in my aura like crazy. Do you know that? At times, my aura takes on disproportionate shapes. During a specific time of the month, it expands, but also when I've only slept for three hours or when I find the world annoying (not you, never you). Or at least it seems like it's humongous.

“Yellow, red, green, for all I care purple with golden dots”

And not only does the stranger fall prey to that thing, but also the sweetest (a tad tipsy) friend who loves to throw her arms around me on a drunken night is a culprit. Or well, actually, my aura is the culprit. And the next day? Then the giant is downsized to minimal proportions again. I am in general not really a hugger, but then I can just shoulder to shoulder handle it perfectly fine again.

An aura consists of the energy fields that hang around every person, say the paranormalists. Around your body, you have some extra bodies that show your energy. But did you know that researchers from the University of Granada have dared to claim they can read them? As in: that Truus from next door sees you with a yellow, red, or green edge. That could actually be true. Only it doesn't have much to do with the paranormal, but with synesthesia. Parts of your brain connect senses with each other, allowing you to taste a sound, for example. I say this is a deal for the screen. But we normal people can't do that because those connections disappear rapidly as a baby since they are useless. And have you ever been tempted to get a way too expensive aura photo? That's just nonsense.

But I'm going to avoid the discussion between science and the aureka's further. As in: as soon as a large university has proof for Jan and his farmer's flute, then I'll believe it too. Yellow, red, green, for all I care purple with golden dots; whatever. I find it especially enormous from time to time. And I still find it strange that it swings out of control on Monday and is completely okay with me on Tuesday.
