The Beetle and the Melancholic Ape
Description
Hi, Sleepy.
It’s vacation. That ambiguous soup of time where everything’s supposed to soften, slow down, sparkle. But what if it doesn’t? What if your inner rhythm just… refuses to change? In this summer-soaked episode, I step out of my apartment and wander through Stockholm’s shaded parks. I meet roses, ducks, and eventually a sarcastic, unexpectedly wise beetle who calls me a melancholic ape and asks what I’m going to do about it.
We talk. About loss. About bark peeling like scrolls of memory. About wings being a trap. About loneliness, goo, and the cruel softness of metamorphosis. And no, this isn’t a children’s story, although maybe it is. Maybe everything is, if you listen while drifting off.
It is what it is. What happens, happens. And right now, there’s nothing we can do about it.
Sleep tight!
