Floating on

-
I had shivers running across my outstretched hand, as I fiddled with my phone and heard an absent clock chime unseen nocturnal hours. It had been so long when the call had come through at night

'It's me'
I knew. I knew the voice. It didn't need a name. It was a voice I had once grown to wake up to. It was a voice that I used to snuggle up to, late in the night, when after work I slid into the darkness of the warm bed.

'How are you?'
Why do we always deal in inane questions at the most important moments in life?

The other side sounded like good ol pal who just kept the phone few hours back and called up again to check how I am.
I wanted to ask why and I did.
'i called you because....'

I feel like a message in a bottle. Afloat but not sure where I am going to go!

So good night, dear void.

Learnings.......

-
As I've matured..... I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. I've learned that it is not what you wear; it is how you take it off. I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished. I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not to pet the sweaty things. I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back. I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity. I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it. I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets. I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses.. I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think. Updates * had to dele...
