Time, no matter!

I scroll through my cell phone. There is this neediness in me seeking one person I can talk my heart out to. I realize it is not going to help. In silent introspection, it dawns upon me that I am not seeking someone. I am only yearning for you. It makes sense too. How could a Lime Soda quench one’s thirst for Coke? Sure it will keep me full for a while but it won’t work as right. So I leave my cell as it is. Truly speaking, I am not even yearning. You have left me convincingly destructed though. Come and see for yourself.

When people decide to leave you, why don’t they leave a manual behind with “What to do next?” notes. How exasperating it is to toil day and night, smile, talk, engage and then look down at your hands, close your eyes and say to yourself, it is fine; you’ll be fine. Yeah people who care, they say, don’t romanticize your situation girl! But I will ask, why not? How do I not? It is coming to me naturally. The agony. The trouble. The restlessness. The sleeplessness. The craziness. The abruptness. Each one attacking like a storm. I feel like some abandoned bad habit. Actually, no. Even bad habits get their own time to wane. So what happens now? Of people like me, who dig too deep emotionally? Till I don’t find an answer, I will keep shutting my eyes and reassuring myself, it’s alright. It is all fine.

  1. You will find an answer and you are just alright. Most people just lose it. But you still hold yourself together, which is good.

    Though speaking about talking to someone, I am up for the challenge. Just saying. No, I mean it though.

    Yes, a lime soda can’t quench the thirst for a coke, but it does help quench the thirst. By this I mean to imply that there is still land beneath our feet rather than sinking in the sea. (Did I make any sense? OkBye, though don’t forget the challenge. šŸ˜› )

    • ah! You never sleep at nights..do you…and thank you I guess. And yes it makes sense. The idea of losing it all doesn’t lure me much. So talking is a challenge…I think it is for me too. Thanks for putting me up for the challenge though.

        Phew, I went all philosophical. Glad it made some sense.

        Though when people do lose it, they just go out of control. You are perfectly on the other end of that.

        Umm, I meant you could talk to me. I am up for the challenge to listen and talk, I meant. -_-

        Ok. You are welcome.
        Oh yes, you definitely are.
        Well, exactly. But sometimes, I might get all philosophical, though I must warn you I know nothing about philosophy = I’d respond gibberish.
        You interested? šŸ˜›

      • Yeaaaah, it was Nygma!

        God, you wouldn’t believe. I have heard people reading it as ‘Nagma’, totally changing the ‘gender’. So, I though of giving the benefit of the doubt, at least in pronunciation.

        And also the fancy font I was using was kind of looking weird. É“ŹÉ¢ma. Upar – niche ( mostly this was the reason – I don’t like irregularity ).

      • Any reason for that? Given your anonymity you can say the meanest things and get away with that. Anyway, my processing apart, there isn’t actually a need to be careful. I would appreciate transparency. :-).

      • The thing about I being careful has more to do with keeping a friend than losing one. I have seen friends drifting apart for the smallest of the things ever imaginable.
        Yes, I know. Anonymity gives that upper hand over things. But, it would be inappropriate if I misuse that. And more over, why would anyone say anything mean to you anyway. That’s very unlikely to happen.

        Given that assurance, I think I can squabble. šŸ˜›
        And transparent I shall be. šŸ‘šŸ˜Š

      • Little squabbles are healthy too. Don’t you think? And turning into friends are we..? How do I acknowledge it..virtual handshake may be..About being mean…yeah sure…that was just some silly pondering.

        Oh, too soon ?
        Moreover, I was sharing my opinion on being careful ( in all retrospect ).
        Virtual handshake would be fine. Btw, we live in the same city, if I’m not entirely mistaken.
        Well, it was a fair point though. šŸ‘

        Yeah, I see the unfairness. I wish it wasn’t the case. šŸ˜

        Well, I’m a more open book on this blog because the people who know me don’t know the real (in)side of me. šŸ™Š

Also for that matter, what is the real you? Like a person with lotttt of layers? I hope I am not being too intrusive(though I clearly am).

      • I figured as much. Diwali is the time most people go to home. Just a casual observation. šŸ™‚

        There are certain things we don’t like others to know. Well, I for one have. So, we(I) pretend like everything’s fine, but it really isn’t. So, the part I’m hiding is the one more real about me.

        I wish I had layers. No, more like the person who just shows one side of the coin (all the time).

        The real me is a lost person, searching for something that I myself don’t know. Didn’t make sense, did I ? šŸ™Š

        No, it’s fine. You can be as intrusive and interrogative as you want to be. No problem at all.

      • Yeah I figured too..
        And don’t like others to know, from the fear of? Well there could be many reasons you would want to hide this real side of you. Won’t pry.
        And lost…aren’t we all? I think we should just let our lost sides take some rest. At times.
        So, which side of coin am I conversing with? Just asking.

        No. Not fear of. I have kept people at arms length always. It has more to do with me than hiding.
        There’s only one reason for me though.

        Yeah, we all are lost at some point. But some find their way, some still try to find their way. And I was lost long before I understood what was meant to be done.
        ( I think I have written a post. I have wriiten so many such things. Mostly have been sitting in my diary or laptop ).
        Yes, juniper side has been resting for way too long and the time is running out.

        Good question. Now, it’s just a face no sides. Totally (trying to be) transparent. šŸ˜

      • Okay…I really appreciate your honesty. And I am not sure at what point will you stop me…like okay miss! I am not answering that. :D. I had to google on what Juniper side means. So in a way, I wasn’t even aware of this side that has been resting for way too long in your case. You see my point? We(I inclusive) ponder a lot. I don’t really know if it is good or harmful. Too many serious topics right? It is fun to know a new person though..

        What I meant was that my lost ( other ) side has been resting too long and the time has run its course.

        Pondering is good. It gives a different perspective at things. Yes, some are serious topics.

      • I hope your lost isn’t equivalent to sad. Because that wouldn’t be nice. And yeah I mean you…and in general too…knowing a new person is lot of effort. Don’t you think? Like right now, we are giving fragments of our pretty precious time to each other. From what I know…may be you keep your thoughts to yourself. Just saying.
        If you ask me to define myself..I’ll be kind of blank. So at least you know you are lost. :-). Making little sense, I know.

      • It isn’t. But in a way, it’s related. Like the laws of universe, sadness it’s part of it. Though, the percentage depends which is fairly consistent in the lost case.

        Oh yeah. It is a lot of effort and quite difficult too.

        Yes, we are.
        And yes, usually I do thoughts to myself, mostly because I’m concerned about what others think. But I am not now. Because anonymity. šŸ˜›

        So, how would you define yourself?
        If you ask me, you are a passionate person, give your best into things you do / love doing. A bit adventurous. And frankly speaking, sweetest & nicest person ever. Because, who would talk to a random stranger on the internet at odd hours of the night. But blank? I highly doubt that.

      • Hahah…those are some words that are very nice to hear. I was talking about my opinion on myself though. And about talking to a random stranger(i thought we were friends in making?)…I guess I know two is company, and I kind of relate to this lost facade of yours(though for me being lost is just a phase). And yes…odd hours these are but only if we go by the rules. Otherwise, hardly matters what time it is. Thank you for what you think of me. :-).
        I would really like if your consistent sadness shows some inconsistency.

        Yes, we are. But it has to start somewhere right? Most people won’t. So, there’s that.

        Also, would you mind if next time I wanna talk I ping you at your gmail? Reason being, I don’t see the point in trolling my thoughts over here. I guess your anonymity will retain there too. Anyway, let me know. (Not quite sure on your reaction)
