time for the final bow

It has been a few days since I disappeared under the radar. Oh, it has been bliss. Waking up at wee hours of the morning, sleeping when the sun is all-blazes and all-fiery, so much & so little to do with all the time in the world. I love the feeling of having an empty schedule. There were piles of homework waiting to be done but heck, that can always come in later. Oh and the endless social engagements. True, they grew wearisome soon enough but, it is always nice to see friends. Even if it meant less time to recharge and reflect though, nobody needs to know. I get by well enough. And here's how:

( The days. )

So those were my days. Happy, peaceful. A far cry from the newspapers nowadays. Food prices escalating, devastating floods, violent riots over beef and a covered-up murder, government foul-ups of pension records, landslide losses for a ruling party. It's a chaotic mad mess out there. And here I am, untouched in my own bubble of education, familial relations, friendships and material comforts. I should be happy. I am happy. It's just the thought of when I would break the filmy surface gnawing at me. Remember that we must leave. I will have to leave, want to leave someday. But for now, there's all the time in the world.
