Sometimes there comes a day when you feel like things are
just a bit to weird. Well weirder that usual at least. Most of our time we
spend walking around like a tin soldier. We only go to bed at night to key back
again, only to wake up the next day and repeat the same BS all over again. Our
days become inexplicably merged together. All of it goes by so fast, and of so
little consequence that soon begin to wonder if the last year did happen at
all. Or did the universe just skip a few months and the people in it are just
in on the prank. Everyone is just playing a trick on you. Or maybe just soon
you will wake up one day an all of this will be just a half-remembered dream.
There are times when some guy comes up to me and says,
'remember that we did that thing', and I want to bash his stupid face in.
Because I do not remember the first thing of what he is saying. And what sucks
more is when the story he is describing is such a laugh riot, and you did play
a part in it. And by the looks of it, you would've really enjoyed it a lot. But
heck if you remember even bit of any of it. This sucks. You are always
complaining that you seem to be having a very monotonous life and nothing of
any excitement has been happening anymore. Then you begin to realize that
things do happen. You really do not change. People around you do not really
change. The way you react with them, do not really change. What mostly happens
is that the good times do not register as often into your brain as it used to
earlier.
You see, as you progress with your life your expectation and
definition of what 'having a good time' means gets blown way out of proportion.
You think having a good time means, getting wasted on the deck of a cruise ship
with pretty girls and blue ocean all around you. How often does that happen
anyway? Not all of can be Jordan Belfort from The Wolf of Wall Street. And also
the truth is you don't really need to own a 100K yacht to enjoy yourself. At
least you never really needed them in the past did you? You always had a rowdy
ol' time with your friends and colleagues. What has changed? Have you become
boring now? Don't people include you in their funcapades anymore?
Not true. As far you know you are not missing out on any
exciting nights happening around you. Maybe you are just getting old, and so
are the people around you. Maybe what people you know do for having fun has
changed as well. Maybe getting wasted is not a big priority for them anymore.
And anyways, you never got high on anything earlier either did you, so why
should it matter now? Even now you can get people to enjoy themselves, go out
of their way to feel the moment. And isn't what having a good time is all
about. To actually stop the constant monologue going on inside your head, and
see/hear/feel of whatever you are doing or wherever you are doing it. Really,
just noticing your life at any instance of time makes it memorable.
