Little Me

Do you look at the other person next to you and go, ' I wish I had a life like that. Travel the world, make friends, become rich without doing much..' Well I am a person who does that. And I think to myself why? What is wrong with my life? I have a good job...errr...an ok job. Well at least it helps pay the bills! My inner goddess wakes up and tilts her head, with a raised eyebrow and looks at me hard. Okay fine I need a better paying job. But I have great friends?!

Again, my inner goddess looks at me and then acts as if she is not interested. Well, I have a few good friends, but what is wrong with that? At least I know I have friends and I can make a lot more. But I still compare my life to the ones whose lives look much more interesting. I figure, hey at least they don't go to sleep wondering what to do with their lives?

Maybe they do and maybe they don't. But if a life that can give you a great body, an intelligent mind, and that makes you rich and famous with doing so little, its definitely a life that I would envy. My eyes go green and my skin feels icky. Why do I react to others like this? Would I feel as much as a prick if I saw someone whose life isn't that great? Someone whose social skills are lower than mine, has no interest in life what so ever and lives with their cat? I don't think I would even stop for a moment and think, Wait! My life is definitely better than that! Oh no sireee. I would not do that.


I have to feel miserable all my life, and when good things do happen, I will crib about the things I don't have. That is the circle of life. My life. Not a rectangle, not a square, not triangle, but a circle. Just like me. I am circle in a lot of ways. Take for example the way I look. Circle. I know you are shaking your head, and telling me that I can rectify that part of my life and maybe work my way to an  hourglass figure? What do you want me to do? Pull a string tightly around my circle? Not a pleasant idea. My conscience just woke up and reminds me of all those times I promised her that I will workout, and how I even bought dumbbells! Yeh...well they are still around somewhere.

What about the fact that I am very creative and can be the best in any creative field I apply my mind to? Yes. That's it! My mind. I keep losing it every now and again. Its so difficult to find it and let it stick around for a while. But who gives a damn about a damsel and her brain?

Most men think that beauty is what they look at, not what it can offer. I like to think I have just forgotten how to play the game. It soothes my ego to think this way. Next time I see a man who is worth my attention I will just go up to him and say, hey...if I met you like a few years/months/weeks/ hours/minutes/seconds ago, I would have actually been interested in you. But now I have been robbed. And the thief took my game. Hey wait, did I just come up with the best pick up line? Err...maybe not.

Moving on.

Have you ever looked at another person and thought, 'wow, how do they have hair like that? Or a body like that? Or whatever like that? I do this a lot. And let me tell you, it gets me no where. I feel miserable and stare at my hair in the mirror, wondering why me? till the mirror cracks (or till I throw something at it). Why do we do this to ourselves?

I guess feeling miserable is what we do best. Its our inborn quality, like how the apes climb trees, the fish swim, the birds fly; we love to feel miserable. No one tells us earlier on in lives, that we can actually have anything we want, be who ever we want to be. But for that we need to work hard. Hey, hard work didn't kill anyone, but I am no risk taker. So I will go back to being my miserable self.

But if you have something to say, there is a rectangle box (not a circle) below this post where you can leave your comments. Please feel free to write what ever comes to your mind. What will I do? Well...I am just going to go back to my life now and feel jealous or miserable about things that don't even make sense!

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

Mystic Moon

She steals her way slowly, like a weightless feather across the sky dark grey. tempting you with her soft glow and suddenly the memories flow. A reminder of a night spent in a lover's arms, and if by chance of a lover's fight, her light asks them to stay calm. Basking in the soft white light, romantic verses many a poets have had the chance to write. Her beauty surpasses many of nature's, she glorifies mountains and rivers where her light reaches. Slowly and steadily she grows from a smile of a child, to the bosom of a woman, yet she dies only to be reborn again. Magnificent is her appearance at her prime, that even the oceans turn silver appearing as if they are her shrine. The moon stands alone beaming like a beacon in the night sky, for all the travelers to lead them by. by,Teja Priyadarshini

What can I say...

What is it about life? We smile when we don't want to. We answer questions even when our lips barely want to move. We look excited when our insides scream for some quiet. I hardly know what life wants out of me? I am not expecting life to give me anymore than it has given me. A caring family, lovable friends, and an intelligent mind. But there is a void inside my soul, which I can't quite understand. Man, they say, is a species that has always wanted more than he has. There is an old story that says that, when God asked man what he wanted, he said he wanted the sight of an eagle, the agility of a leopard, the strength of a lion, and the wise mind of an owl. So be it, God had said. But the animals knew what man actually acquired - the virtue of Greed! Why am I telling you this? Well, I feel the same want. Though its not materialistic, a want is a want, none the less. I want to know what it will take to fill the void inside my soul. I want to know where I am headed. I want to kn...
