Battling boredom is always a struggle. But leave me by myself in a room now and I can find ways to entertain myself. ~oh, get your mind out of the gutter, benstew~
It’s quite easy actually, all you need is some patience, an act of determination, a little time getting use to being alone and VOILA~* You are all set. It’s quite addicting sometimes too. You’ll crave the taste of solitary every now and then when you are away from it. And while no man dare claims to be an island, a little part of me hoped I can, just for these while at least, cos I miss it. Cos I miss that quite air of solitude. Ah.
But time remains noone’s friend. And inevitably, some things are bound to end. So does my faint sojourn of self confinement. Dragged by people close to me to and fro cities and beaches and lakes and places where unhappy people ~seemingly so~ come together in one place to rid themselves of their boredom. To be amused, maybe? But wow. I can tell, that I didn’t miss anything at all. On times I wish I was just at home, alone, by myself with just a a book or a DVD or just scratching my butt. I’m that secure of myself. Even when I’m buzzed, I look around and I can still say to myself: I don’t need this. I got everything I need except one. Someone. That’s just what I need.
So when M, my surprisingly new found friend told me, love don’t happen everyday, I believe her. I also believe she stole that quote from her most recent read. Ha ha. But I really, passionately believe that too. And I believe that I had just foolishly chase one away. ~again~ Cos every move would stir a great risk. And I’m afraid to risk. And I’m an idealist. And idealist are driven by the nature of youth. I thought I had grown wiser and older but turns out, I hadn’t learn anything at all! I’m still shallow. My strength are still limited to a single, ~but passionate~ fanatical conformity seduced by the good society. When will I ever learn to impose myself?
So, comes my desolation.
Funny cos awhile back I was wondering when will I get my peace from these … everyone who seemed to be constantly stealing my precious dorky, alone time. And I can’t wait to be alone.
Now, I am alone. I am alone retracing my way back in solitary. I should be familiar to this ally by now. At least I got my selfish hour back, ey? There’s nothing to look forward to in this but I wish you well.
If It was me who got a longer lease on life, I’ll probably would be more hungrier for life. Am I part of your new life? If not then, it’s ok. I learned a lot from you. That’s enough. You’re still a heaven sent.
And I’ll keep welcoming people who would want to step into my life and will still let people go when they they don’t want to stay anymore. Cos life is too short for regrets. I understand your need to be selfish like how I steal moments to catch my breath on a crampy random banyo of my friends choosing for a fun night.
Thank you for the breather. I’ll value both my time and my life even more now.
