Short term memory and other things

I need to breathe again. This week's been a lot hectic and didn't take off the way I would have liked it to be. I have a million ailments. And life doesn't get any better than this. In fact, my old friends returned to me and the new ones have quietly made it clear they have nothing to do with me. SO I guess, there'll be a time, when they come back and I'll welcome them with open arms. I always do that. What's this life worth anyway? Paper money? No. I kind of realised that all my life I have spent in studying, poring into books, being the good girl that I am. It's terrible that I have never really had fun. But I guess, today feels like a moment of regret. Well, if that's how I have chosen life, then so be it. Because, lovers don't necessarily end up marrying each other, children leave their parents homes, pets die, people continue to have affairs, children are brought up in life solely on hope, people change their careers, and so on and so forth. See, there's nothing permanent.

But secretly you notice, that there are some lovers who do end up marrying each other and walking hand in hand on a footpath in mahim, children continue to live under the adoration of their parents in their homes, pets live a lil longer, people stick to jobs longer than expected and there is this thing called hope...it just never tires out of people.

Sometimes, life brings us surprises in forms we never quite fathom. Sometimes, life brings us joy that makes us forget that feeling of pain. Sometimes I wish I had a short term memory...because then it would hurt a little less.
