Notes

The last few days, funnily enough, I think to myself how insecure I used to get when it came to letting people in real life read my musings. That being the primary reason, I hesitated not to keep my previous blogs a secret. There haven’t been a lot of secrets actually or any private confessions to be kept from anyone who I knew in real; but they were just catastrophes most alive in my state of mind.

It happened so mostly because all my life, I’ve been a listener. I don’t know whether to take pride or be just a little bit ashamed for it. A listener always listens, and listens very carefully, connecting the anecdotes with reasoning and with genuine concern towards the speaker.

But I don’t want to suffocate myself any more. I’m trying from my end to be as myself as possible because let me insert a cliche, Life is Short. It really is and lately I see no point in hiding behind anything for the fear of being seen. Words made me before, they’ll build me up again and I can’t serve them injustice by hiding about them. I am open. This is where I write. That’s just one of my ways of expression. If anyone wants to point a finger as to how should I feel based on my posts here, excuse me Sir, but no, it’s not needed. Your approval isn’t needed.

“Being yourself is the ONLY way you can stand up against the society that is trying so hard to turn you into something they want. Don’t fall victim to that.”


PS. I’d be alternately posting my writings from the old blog which doesn’t exist anymore.

Smokes in the air

Maybe this is because life currently has become steadily non-happening and so I walk in circles these days, without coming to a halt. I find myself sleeping for more hours than I usually do and probably need. I must be going to sleep feeling longing for something or nothing at all for I feel even number when I wake up. I have things to do but I've kept most of them away for a while. I have friends to meet but I don't go out lately. When I do, its with my cousin brother. The fresh street and head lights add a specific feel to the pretty, happy and busy faces I see on my way and I am just shown another side of my mood that doesn't last long; a feeling as I reach home, knowing I'll again be the same person enjoying solitude. The time spent playing old games with the ones I have blood relations with put me at ease somehow and I suddenly miss my family. My own people. They're there in front of me but I end up missing them more than ever. I remember how I was brough...

Some time off

That moment arrives when a normal day starts feeling like a storm all around you. The air feels cruel. The winds, even more. You hurt. It doesn't go away. It troubles you outwardly. Your head feels empty, but gets heavier every minute. The weight of never-ending thoughts, insecurities and the fear. You try badly for this storm to stop. You try not to let anything enter your mind for you know you'll have to pay for it. But what you avoid, identifies you. What you're supposed to be like, kills you somehow. Every thought leads you back to that same place. You long. You hurt. Like a beggar. Full of regrets. Full of what ifs and buts. You're nothing inside but everything inside you is just too much that you feel the space isn't enough. You feel weightless. But it feels like the burden is breaking you and pushing you down the floor, deep down the tiles of your room and even the sand thereafter. You don't stop trying but the storm always wins. Like it has won, r...

Of Moving Forward- Part II

Sitting here, I wonder if it's about seeing in the mirror and liking what I see. 'Your eyes speak', they say. With every look of myself I get everytime I see, they, my eyes, seem to want to confront me. With all my honesty, I say, I run away from them. I try to. But the next time, everytime, it's a sensation of their coming toward me more hurriedly. They must be knowing the truth behind all the lies under the Sun I may have happened to tell myself in order to keep going. It's what I am used to do. To keep going, not knowing how far but far still. I am not used to the comfort there is in stopping for a moment or two. The comfort doesn't comfort me enough, although the view of it I get is inviting and tempting. I do not like the idea of walking the carpet that could take me somewhere I may be told I could dream. It doesn't completely satisfy me, being somewhere for a long time where there is everything I like. Going somewhere for a while where they may ...
