Just because it's been a while!!

It's overwhelming how a child-like inhibition stops me right now. Even though it merely involves a tap and a click of the mouse. Rediscovered a friend after ages out of the blue. She is my first memory of a best friend. The one with whom you share that big pound of secret 'you'. But time fools us all. She left; while I stuck around. 

While I write now, I realize that I have become my own mental block. I am not only not ready to accept change, I live in a ferocious fear of it. I probably don't need to invite her back to the folds of my being anymore. I am content in the memories of a long dead friendship. But what causes me unease is the terror of what I may discover if I befriend her virtually. My collection of an idea of perfection has become so contorted that a challenge to a mere strand of it might make my mind unravel. 

Weak is what defines me now. To think I childishly feed myself with the complexities of the world still. Literature has become my myth now where my mind unravels into the depths of distortion.

From our birthday, until we die, is but the winking of an eye;

You are supposed to believe that 26 is just another number. But is it? It takes you one year closer to 30 than 25. How does that matter? Well, isn't 25 like the ideal age? The age where you are permitted to do everything and anything but have no responsibilities whatsoever.

The years do go faster as the number of years increase. Clearly that is because there are fewer fascinatingly new experiences and also because, the brain stores lesser snapshots of life as the years pass on. However, such medical wisdom serves no purpose when one is in the whirlpool of nostalgia, getting sucked in by one memory at a time...

Obviously, it is best to just enjoy the present than to wonder about its preservation.
Of course, stuff of various colors and varying concentrations consumed in order less fashion does make you want to write spontaneous blog posts.....

Below are some facts about Age buckets:
Zero-teens = you learn about the world.
Early-teens = you intend to change the world when you grow up.
Late-teens = you realize you can't change the world, ever.
Early-twenties = you intend to direct your own life as you want it.
Early-thirties = you realize you don’t control your life, rather it controls you.
Late-thirties = you vow to direct the life of your children.
Early-fifties = you realize you can't control your children's life at all.
Sixties and later = you give up all hope and continue living.


Of course, I am just guessing, but I feel it’s true: D.

I will again repeat the name of the post because I am in love with this line written by William Butler Yeats "From our birthday, until we die, is but the winking of an eye.
