  • To Vanish

    There are days when you wish you could disappear. Cease to exist. Today is the day. So I've dodged all the things I needed to do, just to be able to stare into space and pretend I'm not in that space that is my living room.

    Why?

    I honestly haven't a clue. At 24, life is supposed to be fast-paced and cliched. Graduating, getting a job, getting engaged. All my friends are thereabouts. So what's the matter with me? Why am I slowing down like a retiree55? Things are still crazy and out of control like it's meant to be at early adulthood, except that they're happening s.o s.l.o.w.l.y. - including supposedly exciting things. I have to wait for everything.

    Even emotions hit me slower than usual. I can't feel heartbreak until I've done several other heartbreaking things before feeling the initial jabber. Then I feel the need to get drunk. Which is again, the cliche way of dealing with life's little niggles, except I'm too clever to fall for that. I wish I was less clever sometimes and just drink myself silly. Not me.

    We all hate the waiting game. So then why are we waiting?
    I wonder what He has in store that requires such painful patience. If it's supposed to be a moulding process I don't feel moulded. I feel like a lump of clay being left to harden and crack. The Potter often comes and splashes refreshing water just to make sure I don't die inside. And I cry out. But when oh when will the fun part begin?? When will I take coherent shape?

    What do You see when You look at me?
