Through experiences, we tell our stories, shape our personalities, and build our perception of life. We thus also become subject to sudden and unpredictable changes of moods and to whims and caprice of life. Like the planet Mercury, we split into two. Our one-half freezes in endless darkness, while the other half glitters with a perfect shade of orange under the rays of our one and only sun. We thus become the Mercurials. We live through different tones of life, swinging from ice to fire. Certain life experiences evoke certain emotions, and these emotions, at once, push thoughts to the surface - thoughts that puncture our life. An experience thus turns into an anchor that we hold fast and remember forever. The ceaseless battle that we fight with ourselves, creating this Mercurial cacophony. In the end, it is all about our story that resonates throughout the universe, carving out a piece of art from this formless, anarchic background.
