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.
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. š )

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.

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. š
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.
