Hostel Life Diaries : Day 2
Well, life is going on. I just got done with setting up all my things properly in this room. Funny how efficient I become when I don't have anyone to order me around and tell me what to do. I mean, it was genuinely fun because I was free to choose and decide where to put things, how to put them. Everything is my choice. And I'm liking it.
Except, there is another news. About the prison (college). I just got to know that apparently, these people charge money from you when you miss college. I had every intention to miss college at least once a week to have a day for myself and my peace but guess WhAaaaaat!!! I'm seeing my plans going down the drain, dramatically waving a goodbye to me.
We still don't have our ID cards so I'm going to miss college tomorrow. And on Saturday too, I guess. Because I've no idea when I'm gonna get to do this once I get my ID.
Now, onto the main things. My realisations about myself.
I'm not pretty. I'm not a genius. I'm not social. I'm not an extrovert. I'm not a good person. I'm not confident. I'm not the cool girl who doesn't care about anything. I'm not the girl who knows how to talk to strangers, how to easily make friends. I'm not optimistic. I'm not even stable. I'm lonely and I want friends and someone to talk to (But I know that I don't really deserve to have close friends because I'll just end up hurting them because of my avoidant attachment issues.)
I'm nothing special. Absolutely nothing. And I........don't really want to be.
And this all hits quite hard because all my life, I was raised while being told I was all of these things. Especially the part about being a genius. Everyone praised my genius. Everyone had a lot of expectations from me. Still do, unfortunately. Especially my parents.
And my brain is stuck between WHY THE HELL SHOULD I MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS EVEN WHEN I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT I AM and I SHOULD DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO MEET THIR EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE THEY'VE DONE SO MUCH FOR ME.
I don't know what to do with all of this. There is this strange sense of peace that I feel now that I've accepted that I'm just an average girl, a human being, who will spend a few years on this planet and then vanish from the face of it. Within a few years, everyone will forget me. Nobody would care.
Whether I live my dream life, do what I want to do, or whether I don't do it. Nothing matters. One day, I'll just.......die. Within a few minutes I'll be gone. And after that, I won't feel anything. No regrets, no happiness, no sadness. I'll just be lying there, dead. And it won't even matter. Because nothing really matters, does it?
Having this realisation feels like moksh, or something like that. Except, I forget all about this NOTHING MATTERS thing the moment I open my Physics book.
Why 😭😭. Why the fuck is this all happening? I don't know. How the fuck do I change it? I don't know. It feels like I've so many problems and zero solutions. How am I supposed to spend another 40 years on this planet like this?????? I need answers.
I hate having a brain. I so wish this thing was detachable. Because I don't want to carry it all the time and listen to all of its constant chattering. I want to throw it away. But we're stuck together, unfortunately.
Anyways, I'm going to sleep now. Let's see what tomorrow brings in my life.
