AUGUST 13TH

I AM HARLEY PRYERS, JUST AN ORDINARY GUY WITH A MINDSET FILLED WITH EMPTINESS. I AM 23 YEARS OLD. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE I FINISHED THE COLLEGE. I CAME TO  THIS NEW CITY YESTERDAY I CAME TO FULFILL MY PASSION AND WANT TO ENJOY A TEENAGE LIFE THAT ALL YOUNG GUYS WOULD DREAM OF, TO BE HONEST, I FELT A LITTLE HOMESICK BUT I COULDN'T KEEP LIVING WITH MY PARENTS AS I FELT A BURDEN TO THEM FOR ME BEING PATHETIC. I NEED TO FIND A NEW JOB THAT WILL HELP ME PAY FOR MY LIVING. I WAS HOPING TO PUBLISH MY WORK AS A GENIUS WRITER IN THE FUTURE. I HOPE A GREAT YEAR AND CHANGES COMING FORWARD IN MY LIFE.

                          HARLEY PRYER READS THIS BLOG ON JANUARY 13TH. IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE HE LEFT HIS HOMETOWN TO  ACHIEVE SOMETHING IN HIS PASSION. CURRENTLY, HE WAS SITTING BETWEEN THE THRASH WHICH WAS TOSSED BETWEEN TWO BUILDINGS. HE HAD HIS LAPTOP AND A BAG WITH SOME CLOTHES, SOME OF HIS WORK, HUNGER, FEAR, ANXIETY AND NO HOPE.

                (    Romans 8:18

This verse says that present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed.

THE PAIN FAR WORSE THAN A MAN BEING IN HIS LOWEST WAS THAT OTHER PEOPLE JUST JUSTIFYING HIS/HER DOWNFALL WAS PART OF GOD'S PLAY AND IT SHOULD BE ENDURED SO THAT A GOOD TIME MAY ARRIVE. HARLEY PRYER WAS A GUY WHO WANTED TO LIVE HIS LIFE IN THE WAY HE IMAGINED, WHICH WAS NOT A GREEDY WISH HE ASKED FOR. HE HAD A CHILDHOOD NOT AS PLEASANT AS MOST CHILDREN AND YET WISHED TO MAKE THE REST OF HIS LIFE MEMORABLE STILL, HE WAS KICKED OUT BY THE LANDLORD FOR INABILITY TO PAY THE RENT. LOST HIS JOB IN A CAFE, AND HIS APPLICATION FOR A SCRIPTWRITER TO A SMALL FILMMAKING COMPANY WAS RUINED AS THE COMPANY WAS DUSTED DUE TO THEIR PERFORMANCE IN THE INDUSTRY.

HIS MOTHER DIED 2 MONTHS BACK DUE TO HER ILLNESS. HE HAD A FRIEND WHO SAID THAT HE BACKED HIM UP WHENEVER HARLEY HAD A DOWNFALL, HE JUST GHOSTED HARLEY, AND NOW HE HAS NOWHERE TO GO OR RELY ON.

HARLEY HAD BROUGHT SOME MONEY FROM HIS FATHER'S SAVINGS WHICH HE PLANNED TO BUY A MOTORCYCLE TO MAKE HIS JOB EASIER, THAT MONEY WAS ROBBED FROM HIM ONE DAY AT A BUSY SUBWAY STATION.

BY OBSERVING ALL THESE SCENARIOS WE CAN CONCLUDE MANY JUDGEMENTS BASED ON EVERYONE'S PERCEPTION.

SOME MAY SAY HE MAY NOT HAD ENOUGH LUCK TO BEGIN WITH.

HE MAY BE PUNISHED FOR HIS PREVIOUS SINS OR MAYBE SOMEONE FROM HIS FAMILY. 

IF A PERSON BELIEVES  IN HIS PHILOSOPHY, HE MAY SAY THAT THIS IS COMMON OR RANDOM OR SOMETHING A PREDETERMINED EVENT.

IN MY PERSPECTIVE HE IS JUST A GUY LIVING A LIFE WITH THE WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOMES WHEREAS ON THE OTHER HAND, SOMEONE THE SAME AS HARLEY MAY HAD DIFFERENT OUTCOMES WITH DIFFERENT PROBLEMS OR PLEASURES. IN SCIENCE THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED SUPERPOSITION THAT DESCRIBES THAT ANY MATTER CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE STATE.                                                                                                                                                                                                        }

I AM HARLEY PRYER CURRENTLY PUSHED TO THE STREETS BY MY CONSECUTIVE TERRIBLE INCIDENTS. I WAS STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS THAT HAPPENED TO ME. I STILL HAVE SOME MONEY WHICH I SAVED WHILE I WAS WORKING AT THE CAFE BUT WHICH IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO FEED MYSELF FOR ANOTHER 4 DAYS. I MISS MY MOTHER IF SHE WERE STILL ALIVE, I WOULD RANT OR CRY TO HER WHICH MAKES ME FEEL BETTER.

(THE FOLLOWING DAY WAS PASSED AS HARLEY WAS IN SEARCH OF A NEW JOB.)

I SLEPT ON THE STREETS NEAR OLD CELLPHONE BOOTH. I SAW THE EMPTY STREETS WHICH WERE BUSY IN THE DAYTIME, THIS MADE ME THINK THAT MY LIFE WAS JUST LIKE THE EMPTY DARK STREETS WITH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT BLINKING RED JUST LIKE MY THOUGHTS ABOUT MY FUTURE. THE SOUND OF THE SILENCE WHICH I STRANGELY HATE, MADE ME THINK OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT QUESTION MY WHOLE LIFE.

WHENEVER I FEEL LOW I JUST THINK OF A STORY THAT ONLY HAS HAPPY PARTS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE CHARACTERS TO FEEL ANY SUFFERING WHICH MAKES ME THINK THAT I MAY HAVE SOME HAPPY PARTS IN THE FUTURE.

ALL NIGHT I JUST THOUGHT OF VARIOUS THINGS AND PLANNED ALL POSSIBLE WAYS TO OVERCOME MY SITUATION, THE NIGHT JUST PASSED I COULDN'T SLEEP PROPERLY BUT SLEPT WELL AT MIDNIGHT, AND JUST BEFORE WAKING UP, I HAD A GOOD DREAM BUT COULDN'T REMEMBER IT PROPERLY.

I SEARCHED FOR A JOB TILL NOON BUT COULDN'T FIND ANY. I WAS SEARCHING FOR A JOB THAT MAY PAY VERY LITTLE BUT I NEED AT LEAST MINIMUM PAYMENTS TO KEEP ME RUNNING. I WAS WORKING ON MY SCRIPT FOR A NEW STORY WHICH HAD NOT PROGRESSED FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS AS I WAS NOT IN A PROPER MINDSET TO WORK.

WHILE I WAS SITTING IN THE PARK AND JUST STARING AT THE CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND THE SAND CASTLE THEY BUILT, I WAS WONDERING AT THE TIME, THAT FLEW BY THAT I JUST KEPT FORGETTING DAYS WHEN I WAS YOUNG. THEN SOME RANDOM GUY SAT NEXT TO ME AND HE HAD A CAMERA WITH WHICH HE KEPT TAKING PICTURES. HE JUST QUIETLY CONNECTED THE CAMERA TO HIS LAPTOP AND DID SOMETHING. HE KEPT CURSING THE CAMERA AND LOOKED FRUSTRATED, I DIDN'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN OTHER MATTERS BUT I FELT A LITTLE LONELY SO I JUST ASKED HIM IF HE WAS HAVING ANY ISSUES.

HE TURNED AT ME AND HESITANTLY SAID "NO THANKS", SO I SIMPLY GAZED THE PARK. AS I SAW THE PATH OF THE SUNLIGHT BETWEEN THE LEAVES OF THE TREE FALLING NEAR A DUSTBIN AND FORMING A SHADOW AROUND IT AND A GENTLE BREEZE THAT COMING FROM MY LEFT, MY VISION GOT BLURRY AND MY EYES WERE CLOSING AS I FELT SLEEPY.

AS I STARTED LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS AND BALANCE OF MY BODY BEGAN TO REACT TO GRAVITY, I HEARD A VOICE CALLING "HELLO MISTER.... HELLO EXCUSE ME, COULD YOU HELP ME FIGURE OUT THIS ISSUE" SAID THE MAN WHO SAT NEXT TO ME.

I WAS FRIGHTENED FOR A BIT, TURNED AT HIM, AND JUST ASKED FOR HIS PROBLEM. HE WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE PHOTO FORMAT WHICH WAS NOT DETECTED BY THE APP ON THE LAPTOP SO I JUST EXPLAINED IT TO HIM ABOUT THE ISSUE. HE ASKED, "IS THERE ANY WAY TO VIEW THE PHOTOS ?" HE NEEDS TO SEND THOSE PHOTOS WITHIN 15 MINUTES TO SOMEONE.

I HAD A CONVERTING APPLICATION ON MY LAPTOP SO I ASKED IF I COULD DO THE JOB IN MINE AND SEND SUPPORTING FORMAT TO HIM. HE ACCEPTED TO DO SO AND I CONNECTED THE CAMERA AND DONE THE JOB. AFTER RECEIVING THE PHOTOS HE SENT THEM TO THE PERSON IN TIME, HE FELT A GREAT RELIEF AFTER SENDING THEM AND TURNED TO ME AND SAID "THANK GOD MAN YOU HAVE GIVEN ME GREAT HELP" AND GAVE HIS HAND FOR A HANDSHAKE AND SAID, "MY NAME IS BRUNO AND WHAT ABOUT YOURS ?".
