The hermit

The hermit

Have you ever thought why we need to have friends, colleagues, acquaintances, etc.? Why do we need to socialize, to communicate with the other? To make our life easier or more complicated? To make our life complete or just to make it lonelier?

I've been asking myself so many times if we just allow people to get into our life to fulfill our emptiness, to share the joy, the happiness, the sadness and so on or for what any other purpose? In that case we also allow them to mess things up sometime as well. To distract us from our mind, our thought and our own will.

"The more, the merrier", they said. But sometime it's like "the more, the messier.!" We all have our own idea of need and want and most of the time we spend so much time and energy on making decision. You could either enjoy the discussion and conversation or get irritated and frustrated. So either we end up happy and make other miserable or vice versa. It's win win situation as someone said. But how many time you win so far?

Also when you allow people around you to get involve in your personal life, it's pretty much fucked up more than it's already is, sometime. One drop of water in a pond could spread out several rings... From a small deal becomes a big issue. Why? As I said earlier, we have our own idea so we believe what we want to believe and when we put our thought into it, it could possibly get the story further than it actually is. How can we avoid all of that problem? Only if we could keep our thought, our problems, our sadness within us but...could we?

There's so many time when I faded away from all of that socialize and communication with the other, it was peaceful and I was, some what, happy. I love to do things on my own, go some where by myself and enjoy the aloneness without any distraction of one's thought. Then there was times when I allowed myself to be surrounded by other human being, to socialize and communicate again. It's good to be reminded sometime that I'm not alone. And also reminds me that I have to prepare...

But after coming out of the shell for a while; after what I've seen and heard and experienced enough for the past few month, I feel like the need to be in a solitude once more.

This isn't a goodbye but it's just in a temporary state. So, my dear friends and acquaintances until I stop being anti-social and come out of the cave. Will see you again...sometime.

Dear Anita,  How are you doing? It has been a very long since we last spoke. I hope you are doing well and you are not being so hard to yourself. I watched a movie "The Choice" by Nicholas Sparks today. You know how I love movies adopted by his books. It is always about Love and Life. To be honest, I have never read any of his books but watching all the movies, I should start a new collection of books.  What I want to tell you today is, life is always about choices. You choose your own life. You choose to be happy with what you do, who you are with or where you want to be. What I am about to tell you is, do whatever make you happy. Life is too short to regret. A moment pass is a memory. What kind of memories would you like to remember?  You know what I miss? I miss those good times spending with family and friends. I miss a good conversion over a meal without an interruption of cell phone. Those technology can really ruin a real social life, I meant a real...

Anxiety attack...are you kidding?

Have you ever noticed that since the pandemic, or maybe long before, you'd hear the word "Anxiety attack" and you'd be wondering "What the heck is that?!" or "Are you serious?" it sounds like a joke if someone told you that they have an anxiety attack because this is all so new to you. But believe me, I'm not kidding. Before I'd go any further, let's see what is anxiety... What is anxiety? (https://www.helpguide.org/articles/anxiety/anxiety-disorders-and-anxiety-attacks.htm) Anxiety is a normal reaction to danger, the body’s automatic fight-or-flight response that is triggered when you feel threatened, under pressure, or facing a challenging situation, such as a job interview, exam, or first date. In moderation, anxiety isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It can help you to stay alert and focused, spur you to action, and motivate you to solve problems. But when anxiety is constant or overwhelming—when worries and fears interfere with your re...

Friend...

Friend... In the morning of 5th August I received a phone call. I lost my good friend. I shall leave her story the way everyone remember her. With her generous heart, she will be remembered and loved always. But what I regretted was I wasn't a really good friend to her, I'm sorry my dear. The event hit me, to find the meaning of friend. What kind of friend you have and what kind of friend you are? "False friend is easy to find but faithful friend is rare." I get that from Thai proverb, could be translated in different way. It's true indeed but how do you know what type of friend they are? You will just never know until they reveal their true color. There's a kind of friend who will run to you every time you say you need them. There's a kind of friend who can put up with all that non sense and stupid shit you have done. There's kind of friend who can make you laugh through tears. There's a kind of friend who loves partying and everything t...
