A mess.

Thoughts spring up in your mind at times you never expect. And some of those you like to put down on paper. But if you look closely you realize there something around you that makes these thoughts pop up. You might say you don’t know but its obvious, if you observe it you'll see it or hear or realize it.

I find myself thinking or writing usually when I’m listening to a song or when I’m frustrated with a situation in my life. Or had a fight or when I miss somebody. I very rarely find myself writing when I’m happy. That’s probably because I find myself enjoying the moment or lost in it. That’s a good thing, yes, but I sometimes wish I do something or put something together to remember those moments.

So today I found myself sitting and staring at my blanket just thinking about how clueless I was in my life. I looked around my room and none of it seemed to be me. My room was a mess, things lying around and confused. Like my mind. I noticed things, which showed me glimpses of what I want it to be, or what I want my life to be. Like a couple of sheets on my soft board with things to do from months ago, or a random bunch of lights hanging on my ceiling. Of course the words written in pencil on my wall that I wanted to paint -3 months ago. I don’t know why all these things are undone, are not crossed off. What am I really scared off or am I just lazy. I just don’t recognize myself anymore.

Sometimes I realize I’m a hypocrite, I help my friends get out of mucky situation or help them start off or push them to be the better person they are when they find themselves sinking or insecure. But I never do that for myself, why is it? Am I waiting for someone to push me without taking control of my life? A friend who’d do that for me? Definitely not my family as I’m the youngest and in my experience it becomes more of a power struggle with my mom and sister. I don’t expect that kind of support from them. I know better. Maybe one day.
But I’m lucky to have friends like I do. I think more than them expressing anything, I know I can rely on them and just that thought helps me. I guess when I look at myself in my head and I’m disappointed it helps to know your friends love you because they want to not because they have to. That should be enough to know I’m not all that bad. I think that should be enough of a push for me to start wanting to be better because I know I have these people who will just be happy and not expect anything else but my betterment.

WHAT I WAS DOING:
Sitting on my bed, looking around. Listening to Suddenly-Matthew Barber.
such a beautiful song. i could identify with at this point.
