Of boredom and other things

This is how falling asleep must feel like-peaceful,dizzy,effortless and numb. I'm getting older too. All of twenty two and already over life. "Have you always been a loner? Does it still feel lonely at times?",he asks,sitting right opposite me. I'm not sure whether I heard the question right or not. I've been floating all around these days. I feel light and heavy at the same time. It hasn't rained much this year. The overcast sky looked beautiful from the Shobhabazaar ghaat last night. I remembered a face I used to make when I was five. This new flat is spacious,basic and characterless. It gives me a proper canvas to throw my colours at but I still can't write. Nor can I make love. Everything seems to be such an effort! Just not worth it. Staring at the ceiling is WAY better. It makes me feel alive,in the oddest way. I'm just so tired! O I'm just so tired!

  1. Beautiful writing ! Loneliness/aloneness whatever you call it, is the only [ and much required} refuge of creative souls. yet sometimes, it eats you up.
    Anyway, I love your description of the the flat and your innermost feelings . really beautiful. Keep writing.

    2. I didn't come online for a while. My net wasn't working. It's still troubling.

  2. This made me all the more scared about my impending graduation and 22nd birthday. 'All of twenty two and already over life' is love and heartbreak, as always, together.

  5. Boredom is unavoidable, but it's really needed at times ...

    1. I think so too. It just gets to me at times. That's all.
