The Space In Between

You know the times, when you wake up in the morning and stare blankly into the ceiling, and wonder, "What should I do today?" That's basically my life. Real fun. Life's like a neverending cycle of contradictions. Waiting in earnest for exams to be over, only to dread the boredom of having nothing to do in the holidays. Perhaps its just me, but I bet i'm not the only one. I have to admit that there are things to do, people to meet, games to play, movies to watch, books to read. But always, something missing. Even in the company of friends, the lingering feeling is always there, like a phantom stalking me, ready to pounce at me the moment the fun and laughter stops. That's the emptiness I feel, which seems to paint my surroundings grey and dull, bleak and inanimate. Emptiness, the place in between, a place where no one else can enter, that time just seems to stand still......

Just plain tired...

"发生在阴天的一段爱情,在雨过之前,已经让他们来不及体会"

--> Px's Nick when I was talking to her yesterday night. Really appreciate her as a listening ear.... Wonder how I would have gotten thru this up till now, without her... Interestingly enough, in her case, my first impression proved to be quite accurate....

Anyway, met Pearl for lunch today, after her make up tut for Bahasa Indonesia. We spent time chatting about her friend's relationship probs, and I gave her advice based on what she told me. Anyway, after that, I sent her to the Kent Ridge terminal.

After she left, she smsed me asking me why I was 'tidak senang' -- not happy. I told her I wasn't. Which is the truth. But she said that she could sense it... I insisted that I wasn't 'tidak senang'... But at the same time, I wasn't 'senang' -- happy. Of course, I didn't tell her this... What was I feeling? I couldn't figure it out too.... Took me sometime, till I suddenly realised that I was just feeling tired....

Plain, Emotionally,
Tired.

There's only so much of worry, anxiety, concern, desires, contemplation that a small mind like mine can take, before it tethers dangerously close to breaking down.... Not to mention that I've had, on average, only 4 hours of sleep for the past 1 week... Why do I have the feeling that I might already have crossed the line?

A Weary Soul...
