A friend of mine once told me, "In Life, there's no such thing as being stuck in the same place. You either move ahead or fall back". I didn't pay much attention back then. But tonight as I sit here with my aching feet and my hair still drippy from my bath, I couldn't help but wonder if he is right!
How long has it been since I've finished my last topic on my synopsis. Four nights back? And I haven't written a single line after that. And I am certainly no exception to the list of everyone that time just doesn't wait for. I can't believe that its 18th April already. And I still haven't finish the work I meant to finish by the 15th.
I didn't sleep well at all last night. After the funeral that I went to, I no longer had the extra energy to prop myself up and read more. And after a fitful sleep for 5 hours (the 'fitful sleep' filled with nightmares of impending viva and synopsis submission), I had to rush down to Munirka to pick up my cousin, and hunt for a suitable school for her 11th Grade. I must admit it. I have become the much older cousin that uncles and aunts find responsible enough to guide their 16 year old tender daughters in their first move away from the nest. And the hunt continues tomorrow, sharply at 8AM, which means I have to be up and running by 6:45 AM. Funny isn't it?? 8 AM is my midnight.
And ironically, the unwritten topic on the synopsis takes a back seat.
So here I am now, punching my tiny keyboard hoping that this vent would give me better sleep... at least for the five hours that I have left.
Talk about being stuck in the same place??? No. I'm definitely stuck in reverse gear! So Help me God!
