Killing that life within me

I have spent hours and hours going over our conversations , trying to catch the moments where things went wrong, where steps could have been taken right at the moment to prevent what happened, from happening.

Hours and hours of shedding tears, shying away from family, pretending everything is fine, all while having a numbing pain in the head and moist redness in the eyes. I long for spending my time alone as those are the moments where I can be completely honest with myself.

They say I react to much. I invest and then expect too much.

I am the ones who breaks relationships because things affect me and you never told me your side of the story. I can't be half invested. I can't be away from you and pretend that things between us haven't changed. Things have changed and that would show.

I know he has a life outside me, that I should be respecting his individuality and space. I agree. I have been doing that since day 1.  What about the space he has left behind , treating me like I am  not longer visible to him and all the efforts to get him talking - be it anger , frustration, trying-to-sort-out just couldn't help. All my efforts to being out any emotions other than silence are ending in nothingness.

Never have I ever experience such helplessness and hopelessness after giving every effort that was in my range of action.

Things around me , which have been associated with him, ( needless to say) remind me of him. And here I am , clearing every thing around me so that my own home does not become the source of  hurting memories.

It was hurting when I asked him to throw the gift I had sent him in the dustbin. He would have thought me to be out of my mind or maybe it's just a mood swing, just like all my other emotions are. What I didn't understand was, when it was so easy for him to throw my feelings in the trash can, what would he want to save by having sympathy for the inanimate objects. Do they remind him of me ? Does anything in the whole world remind him that I am still existing? Maybe not. Maybe in his mind, I am dead already. That's the reason neither my tears reach you, not my threats

They say I am wrong in feeling this. That I shouldn't behave like this. I should be rational and behave keeping in my mind that a single step could ruin a relationship that had years of building to what it is right now. 

Is there any thing left to be taken care of ?

Killing that part of my life in which we were there for each other won't be easy but that's the only vision I have right now, pushing me to start living again. Torn are the pages which had the our shared dreams inscribed in  them and here I am, starting again, my emotions as blank as the page in front of me.

Stuck in or settling in ?

Things have been pretty blank these days. Since I am an intern, the only people I am answerable to, are my seniors at work (and this transition from being in a bunch of people of the same group to working is fairly new to me). The work timings depend, on department to department, from unit to unit and within weekdays too. Currently I am at a calmer place so I do not have anything major to worry about. Things will be changing from next week, for the next 6 weeks, about which I have no idea. I’ll get clarity on the coming Tuesday. Coming back to the blank, with lesser hectic days, most of my time is spent lying on the sofa, scrolling through my favourite youtubers’ content, anything I would like to shop on and adding them to the bag and never with an intent of actually buying them. When not scrolling, I will either watch a movie or read a novel or hear them on audiobook apps. The loops never seem to end. When I realise that I have time at my hand and I have nothing to do, I go online se...

Escaping, but from whom?

It's a quite place which I always claimed will make me most productive.  And now that I am here, I occasionally get lost in my thoughts, which is basically about all the issues I am surrounded with. While at home,  I was constantly in search of emptiness, a room where no one ones what am I doing, judge whether what I am doing would actully help me make my future better, to validate the feelings I express. I used to just sleep or try to study in a room locked from inside where most of the time was spent crying till I am too exhausted to do nothing more than needed, sorting what went wrong and hiding from everyone around. I have been there before and after attempts of moving on, the things are back again , right in front of me. Everytime it happens, it leave a hollowness inside which doesn't really fills up. It gets deeper, progressively. I have been shrinking out socially and hasn't been a serious bother since the ones I have to keep with me, are with me.  The previous tim...

The Abundant Room Upstairs, No One is Allowed to enter! #1

There is an old brown dusty chair that sits in the abandoned room upstairs. I didn’t figure out who does it belongs to yet we, the family who resides here on rental basis, are forbidden for using it. Mamma says that we must not enter the room, at any cost. Yet, I trespassed this boundary yesterday, when my dearest cat went upstairs, like she usually does. I didn’t ponder upon this fact as Cookie has her favorite place to sleep upstairs. But upon her no appearing back even after opening up of its favorite food (cats are very strong at detecting smell), a doubt arose. I waited for a few more minutes and when my expectations failed too, I decided to go upstairs and check. The forbidden room was at left, so I went forward and checked the room on the right side. “Cookie” I called out. No response. I called out again, twice, yet the result was just as the first time, that is no response again. I had the bowl of cat food in my hand, whose presence would have been hard to go unnoticed, given...
