Sometimes it feels I so don't belong. To the career(s) I have chosen, to the people I know, to the characters of the books I read, to the pics I see in other people’s albums.. sometimes my life seems ‘halted’ to me..arrested in the clutches of the times gone by. Neither do I have the energy to let go of the past, nor do I dare move forward.. may be I don’t want to. Sometimes seeing the imagery of other people’s lives I feel at peace with myself. Seeing them happy, chirping about, and hanging out in groups of friends I try to remember when did I feel this way? When did I put my arm around some friends and cheer at full volume? I have done that, haven’t I? But when? I race my mind but can’t feel the feel.

I was happy in my world. My happiness, my monuments, my seminars, my friends, my newspaper, my life, my college. All of that changed and is gone. But I still haven’t begun to define happiness the way others do. The way other girls do. Why to me the epitome is something else? And at the same time why do I want to once feel that happy in the situations these people are happy in? Seeing them I feel may be the problem is with me.. and i just can't figure out what.

Have I started looking down upon people who get happy in little happiness? Who are not shy to display the reason for their happiness? Have I begun to wait too much? For the right people, for the right occasion or for the right moment..?? Would it be only then would I let myself be happy? Isn’t that foolish of me? and would I change easily? No.

I have been around many kinds of people and I have seen them change. But I never did because I thought my ‘change’ would be something else. The thing, the phase that would change me would have to be bigger than smoking or boozing or partying.. this change was not to be superficial but from inside…it just doesn’t happen with me. I feel like I am pretending a life here. And God knows I’m tired of doing that.

I feel like a misfit right now. In this world, in people’s lives, everyplace I go…and I’m getting too emotional..so better put a brake here and now.

PS: its all nonsense isnt it.. the truth lies elsewhere
