When a bubble gets big, it doesn't float any higher. It only becomes big when there is too much air and too much space inside. It can fit an arena or an avenue. Like a kid in a park, we've always dreamed of a bubble so big and grand. But little did we know it's the easiest one to prick.
Leni’s bubble can fit two million people as of now. We may never know the true reach of her bubble until May 9, but the bubble is so big that some say it determines the fate of our democracy. It’s as if a miracle happens when a bubble becomes that big.
And to be honest, a bigger bubble brings bigger joy. But for all we know, at some point, it may burst. It’s not the strongest bubble out there according to surveys, but it’s a bubble that makes some so hopeful again.
This bubble is special, as some might put it. Of course, any big bubble is special because making it takes a lot of air and patience. As others resort to smaller, higher, and different ones, the ones who join to make the bubble bigger seem to enjoy the game.
The camp says, there’s no formula for people to get into the game but to only talk to them from their doors and encourage them. A bigger bubble has more surface area than smaller ones. Getting past the blows of misinformation is a goal to make people stay. With too many surfaces, a blow can pop it anytime soon. It's discouraging to blow one again. We might have to wait to get the same bubble that we once had.
The bubble has all the eyes of the crowd. Its size and energy—the way it glows against the backdrop of dryness—makes it tempting to burst into fragments. There's a satisfaction for some to pop this bubble. It's not for them to get bigger, in fact, it only worsens the case. A pricked bubble fragments into droplets and soon it pricks all other bubbles near it as well.
If the bubble must be retained, all interests must align. But too late in this game, it's impossible to change a mind. To prick or not to prick is a question to be asked.
For those who have tried pricking, shame befalls them. The people who love the bubble. like it so much, they'll fight for it. Insofar as pricking is concerned, an army exists to protect it. Those who have hoped have called the hopeless defected and dumb, which defeats the effort of encouraging one by one. Now, if it continues, more and more will want to prick the bubble.
