Being Alone Feels Complete

Two years later, and it still does at times!

Oh man! I miss the Delhi winters.

I don’t know why but I really wanted to write today so here goes,

You know how sometimes you just don’t want to talk to anybody and just be yourself, just be inside of a sphere with no one to judge, no one to argue, no one to listen. Well, if you have, Welcome to the Club and if you haven’t felt like any of this, try skipping this post.

Nowadays, moments like these where I can just sit and think about myself are becoming a habit of mine. I don’t know why but Being Lonely Feels Complete. I guess it’s a phase where I am supposed to know more about myself, understand what I want, make plans to achieve my goals. Well, let me tell you something, none of that will be happening. Why? Because that’s what normal people who loves “9 to 5” does. I’m too creative for a “9 to 5”, I would rather spend an entire evening thinking about something that doesn’t exist and I can make than working on something that I now people have been bored off.

Being alone feels complete (sometimes) but feeling lonely sucks.

Some things change so drastically with time and some don’t, at all. I’m pretty sure I read “Change is the only constant.” on a tumblr and it’s pretty appropriate. I still consider myself too creative for a 9 to 5 but that’s actually because I like working too much to stop at five. I’m a workaholic and I love it. I still love working on new ideas and I hope that never changes.

If you’re lonely, talk to someone. It doesn’t have to be a therapist. There are a lot of people on the Internet* that will listen to you and give you some great (and some not-so-great) advice, all of which will help. There’s something about a stranger showing compassion towards you that makes the whole thing so beautiful. There might be some bullies too. Ignore them. And remember… Talking about real problems is fine, sharing your true identity is definitely not.
