A normal life to lead...
Born straight, grow up with a decent education...
At the appropriate time get a job and a girlfriend...
Get married and have kids...
Tag along with family and friends for gatherings and outings...
Occasional financial hiccups and debts to pay for...
Eventually own a car or two and a house or two...
Get old...
Die...
Why couldn't have life been that easy???
That boring???
That uncomplicated???
That foreseeable???
That SIMPLE???
Miss Sincere Inadequacy recently found out that her boyfriend (Creative juice #3), had been in fact disloyal to her and thus ended the relationship... Even that seems so much simpler than what i have going on...
"The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget."
-Arundhati Roy (The God of Small Things)
The few books i read that i could fully relate to...
Not to complicate what is simple and not to simplify what is complicated...
I guess my life will stay complicated and i shall live by its complications... The more i try to simplify, the more mess i get into...
