"The mess on my table is simply a reflection of what’s going on in my mind..."
I am one meticulous person.
When the secretary offered to help clear some files from my table, I declined politely telling her I will do my own spring-cleaning. That was last month. Beginning of week, I started reshuffling papers and rearranging the piles on my table but the stacks were getting higher than before. I certainly don’t have it figured out yet but I am determined to clear the mess.
Pushing hard until I reach my goal is always tough, but quitting is even tougher. And my back is complaining again. While clearing the drawers I found old diaries dated way back in the 80’s. Before end of the day, I gave up and told the secretary direct and unapologetic to leave the mess as is. And I started reading my old diaries from cover to cover.
It’s exciting and satisfying, but I’m not entirely sure why…
old entries in diaries reveal intriguing pasts, mesmerising us with thoughts, deeds and ifs...now that we have the benefit of hindsight.
ReplyDeleteOur life is so unlike our dreams. The things we least imagine are what happen. Love, pleasure, pain, the sadness of life’s passing are strangers that we met along the way…
ReplyDeleteYet, still we dream and hope for something better, and pray that no catastrophe comes near...
