Prime Time

"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them."

- The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon




There are, or ought to be, logical reasons for the way people feel, I think. So why can't I figure out the roots of my frustration?

Perhaps it's true, I indeed have too much time on my hands, so that it seeps into my mind and messes with it. I have tried constant rationalising. I have tried to distract my thoughts by keeping myself busy. I have tried talking it over with friends. I have tried approaching the source of the problem (well, one of the them, maybe not the other). But it tires me out.

Why can't I seem to understand? What is it that I want? It seems that, for one, the more I vocalise my thoughts, the more I expect. With the other I am slinking away.

I'm sorry, y'all. I'm trying to seek solace in writing while at the same time refraining from revealing too much. So impossible.

Titled: Daily measurement of growth

Learn to control,
temper outburst due to swinging moods,
tears that threatened to flow spontaneously,
running thoughts across the oceans,
i dreams that flew across the skylines.

so that I'll be,
a more humble individual,
a more matured sentimentalist,
a more earthly soul,
a more real- life include.

I returned it already. It's called "Bobos In Paradise". About the new, educated middle class and the way they lead their lives. Insightful, light and funny read. But I didn't finish it. Didn't have the time, plus it got a tad repetitive and predictable towards the end...
