The World is a Noisy Place
Yesterday has got to be one of the worst days of my life. Frankly speaking, I am surprised to be still in one piece. In the morning, I had a run-in with one of the rudest people I have ever met. He just literally pushed me out of his way and it threatened to turn ugly when I pushed back. There were a few "what the fuck"s exchanged but we went on our ways.
Throughout the day, there was this overwhelming realisation that I am still not okay despite surviving 2 weeks after the breakup. Work was piling up and I was ready to scream from all the stress. I'm almost embarrassed to recall it now but I was breaking down in toilet quite a bit yesterday.
And to make matters worse, my fucking ipod ran out of battery and died on me on my way home. Ok, this is not funny to someone whose entire plan to tune out from the world relied on that white box. I pleaded with it, asking all the gods to help me out and make my ipod last for just 1 more stupid hour, just until I reach home, but no one was listening. It was horrible!
On the bus, I had to sit beside this guy whose clothes were not aired properly and it stank like HELL. I almost puked, I tell you. There was a horrible start-stop traffic jam which made my head spin and there's this stupid couple in front of me trying to gossip after their office mates despite having NO chemistry what-so-fucking-ever.... etc. etc. etc.
Having been used to tuning out from the world on commutes, I had no fucking idea that the world is such a goddamn noisy place. GOD!

Heh. Yeah. We humans live on a very small amount of space if you think about the places on Earth where we just simply *can't* live: The ocean (there goes a lot), in high altitudes (*puff*) and cold / warm places like Sahara & Antarctica (there goes the last bit). Furthermore, we tend to cramp together in small places and multiply like maniacs, so no wonder it's bloody noisy around here.
A small tip for the weekend: Bring a fully loaded iPod out in the countryside and go sniff to some flowers, sit under a tree or just take a long walk. Might help... (^_^)
Shit happens (when you party naked). I've experienced the nausea you get when you are close to someone who reeks of bad odours. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, but hope today is/was better for you. Sending you lotsa love from Canada.
I guess I've just been overwhelmed by the banality of it all, especially when I was without the one thing that has kept me safe from it all.
But thanks for the kind thoughts all the same.
