I am Not Mad



                         It’s been long, since I’ve spoken to anybody. Of course I talk to people every day. Sharing is not easy if you’ve grown up in an empty house with a lot of people. How hard is it do you think to hold onto something that doesn’t exist? You must be thinking that’s mental. Actually, it’s quite normal when you are followed by nothing but a deafening silence saturated with maddening thoughts and just one pair of ears including yours. Maybe it’s then that you start talking with yourself and you start to think that you’re going mad. The fear itself starts to destroy you from within. I try to be, hopeful.
Lately, I’ve been thinking that I should start talking to people but these thoughts only keep me busy. For some reason I can’t seem to stop thinking, about everything that happens around me. I’m not a loner. But I’m getting quieter every day. But I really can’t help it. Although I am pretty loud but there’s something that’s growing inside me that stops me from feeling anything. Sometimes I can’t even feel myself. I just sit there feeling numb and cry my eyes out when no one’s around. Then I calm myself and hold it in. It hurts. But it’s fading.
It feels like a long way from home. It’s like i keep walking in this desert of light, so pure and white that it is blinding. I close my eyes and wait for an absolution that will never come. Now going back to my question. Do you think you can hold onto something that doesn’t exist? Well if you can, then for how long? You must be thinking how that might work. It’s easy, really. You just need pain, imagination and hope that someday the latter will overpower the former. But it takes time to build your world. If you manage to live with the pain for that long, and feel it till you can feel nothing else, not even the pain itself, then you’ll have gained the strength to build a world of your own. I’m past all that. Now, I really want to break down the world I have created because it’s somehow breaking me down from within. I can’t comprehend as to why I feel this restless and abandoned. Maybe it’s all in my head. Perhaps I am going crazy.
I’m someone who notices the ceilings and furniture if not the carpet designs when I enter a room. Then, perhaps the eyes that look away. And finally, those that don’t. It’s not being immature, unsocial, or awkward. I’m just tired. I refuse to be the shallow definition of a “good girl” which I often hear at places like this. No I’m not a “good girl” but I am a good person. I am mad, why can’t people accept that? I am not normal. I am eccentric, and impulsive. But I would never harm or kill anybody which I consider one of the few real bad things in life. But this is past. The present is somewhat different. I don’t look away anymore. I have learned not to care about what these people say. I feel misunderstood, but strong.
People say I’m selfish. I have merely ceased doing things for other people’s interest and have started to really give myself some thought. It is amusement as to how people can live in fake skins coated with sugar and manage to live a life without this pain. Maybe it’s their sanity. Then again, what is sanity? I believe sanity is merely that part of insanity the society accepts. Insanity is what they fear because they do not understand. I am not mad. They think I am. But, who the hell are they
 

Life is Enigma



Enigma means puzzle or riddle, something that is synonymous to life nowadays. This page is for anyone who wouldn't mind a bit of light reading on the go. I am Tora, a girl of 19, settled in Kolkata who takes pleasure in writing just about anything. I have written for myself all my life and now I’ve decided to reach out to people a bit. There is solely one purpose for this page. I intend on writing something that would maybe help the girl under the bed come out, or maybe make someone think twice before the fall. I am not going to be philosophical, cuz I’m not philosophical. I believe in solving the puzzle with the head rather than the heart. But, it is not important as to what I believe. I am not a preacher.

This page is here for you and me, and my purpose will be fulfilled if even a sentence makes you feel better, about the world, about yourself and even if they merge, I tell you it’s not a crime, it’s absolutely fine. You are that person you will have to deal with every moment till the last beat, and nobody can change that.

The puzzle might not be solved in the end, but what matters is how many pieces you could put together. I don’t claim to help you do any of it, but if you ever need a push, it’s what you’ll get here. Feel free to browse, share and maybe follow.

Hello, friend. :)
