Close the door, change the record...

"...That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don't expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are..."
-Paulo Coelho

I'm going to come up with some great ideas.

Soon.

Wrong things are most attractive.  

Change

I am hearing this one again… that I don’t let people in, in fact, I never let anyone get close and that I draw a “do not cross” boundary around me, and that I am rigid and need to change. It always surprises me to get this sort of view from close friends. I don’t understand “rigid”. I confess that I do maintain “fortifications”. I involuntarily keep everyone at a distance. It might show that I am egotist and self-centered but it has kept me out of harm's way and helped me remain attentive to things that I should remain attentive to. Many times. It has helped me avoid pointless hurting and yearning for people who aren't worth yearning for. I believe it has given me the sense of judgment for not depending upon wrong people. I have remained sensible because of detachment. It is strange but I have had greater advantage in my life by putting up barriers.Right now, the kind of phase I am in, I see no reason to alter myself… least of all to put down barriers.

Finally I got what I asked for. I have had two hectic weeks and I might have to bear sleeplessness for yet another week. I think I have become used to sleeping for 4 hours or so...
I sort of get bored at 2:30 am nowadays. May be I will start sleeping better in October.

Snubfest

This is one of my favourite. Because it really works most of the time :P
