An Empty Seat

I know you guys are reading and you might comment etc… but I still miss someone to discuss weird things with. I do have one eligible friend, but she’s leaving for South Africa in a few days. Everybody else… well they don’t get me in the same way. And I kind of wish for someone who does. Someone I could just talk to about weird things like what to do if you sit down at a table during coffee break at work and it slowly fills up with guys… and only guys :? . Or how you should hide what you’re tweeting or texting from people behind you. Or if it’s possible to start a conversation with someone randomly on the bus in this country. I mean I don’t have anyone to discuss these things with. Ok no… you’re right… what I actually don’t have is someone who’d give the right answers. You know what I mean right? Someone who gets me and knows what I truly mean. Someone who knows the meaning of each and every “you know”. Damn do I miss my friend! I might not even see her before she leaves. Someone needs to fill the position before I lose my mind.

There are probably less than a handful of people who can read me completely out there. Maybe I’ve met half of them. The other half… I might not ever meet. Sometimes I wonder why I am so weird. I believe in a meaning behind everything but what good can come out of someone like me? I have failed not only in achieving anything at all, but also in trying to fit in. Never have I fitted in anywhere.

And I can’t even get angry anymore. There are simply too many waves in my little jar of sea.

    Oh rinth! :( I can sympathise with this so much but all I can say it just battle through because most of us (if not all of us) feel like that. The whole world is made up of us misfits that don’t fit in anywhere. That’s actually a good thing in the end – but it will take time and age to see that.

    You are still young and have ages yet before worrying about what you have achieved – I think you are already achieving a great deal to be honest and you impress me. :)

    Give yourself a chance – take it from one who got it so horrible wrong when he was young that he nearly never made it out of his teens. I really, really can feel where you are coming from (though, of course, I can never truly understand it as I’m not you)…

    • Thank you Ken. Your support means a lot, truly. And I know that I will come to realize more with time. Thing is right now I am in that time of life when I really need some likeminded people… or maybe just only one…

      • Such people are hard to come by. You are well blessed if you get one! But a few similar-minded people might be an alternative? People you feel you can talk to a lot even if you can’t necessarily feel able to say everything…

        Probably not the place to say it but drop me a line on my email if you want to talk more. Assuming you waive that offer – DO take care of yourself… :)

        • Hahah… thank you Ken, I will remember that offer for another rainy day :P . Yeah most of the times we gotta work with what we’ve got… but I guess it’s when you think you’ve had it once that you start wanting something like that again… if I never knew such a friendship or phenomenon existed I would have quickly thought of alternatives. Nevertheless… it means a lot that you guys care so much :) . And you take care of yourself too!

Amuse me with your thoughts.
