Love And Other Peculiarities

I used to love

Looking at the pile of papers stacked on my desk, I sighed to myself.I rub my aching temples trying to ease the pain a little. The bustling noise and the people who kept going back and fourth made it even worse.

Oh,how I wish for this day to end. Peering outside the window,I nonchalantly looked at the view in front of me. Cars going back and forth,honking along the way as they hurried towards their destination.

Some people walked inside the café's, enjoying the rest of the day hanging out with a group of friends. I wonder what it's like to be out there,having all the fun in the world.

I've become completely ignorant of things as such. Being stuck in the office sitting in the same old chair for the rest of the day made it impossible for me to experience those things. If only I had passed the qualification for my favored job,then maybe I won't be stuck here feeling like a bird locked in a cage.

Sighing to myself once more,I abruptly stood up and headed toward the vending machine. Murmuring hi's and hello's to my co-workers as I pass each one of them. I inserted a coin and punched some buttons.

Then I soon got my favored drink. After I opened it, I immediately drank it as I let my taste buds explore the creaminess of the coffee. I gulped a few more times and needless to say,it's like taking reality to some parts of my organs.

A bittersweet reality that surely neither I could escape.Throwing the now empty can in the bin, I got back to my work. As soon as the hands of time pointed to nine, I packed all my stuff and arranged my desk.

The flickering lights send shivers down my spine but no matter,I'm getting out of here on way or another. Not now nor sooner or later but I'll make sure that it's not just a drawing but a goal that I'll soon call my reality.

I exited the building and headed toward my apartment just around the corner. As soon as I arrived in my room, I quickly turned on the lights,afraid that darkness will envelope my mind causing it to hallucinate.

Afraid that it will not only consume my body but also my soul. I let myself fall to the bed,not bothering to change my clothes. I close my yes for a few minutes,feeling the fluffiness of the bed envelope my whole body.

I jolted upwards, as a memory triggered within the inner most part of my brain. My eyes wandered aimlessly around the room, reminiscing the joyous days I once spent.

From the dusty untouched bookshelves down to the desk I used to spend lots of time just being me. I promptly stood up and strided toward the desk. I gently carressed the dusty table until my hand wandered toward a white sheet.

Curiosity took hold of me as I lifted the white rectangular sheet,revealing a red book. It may be olden by time but still in a good condition. I gently carressed the cover of the book,tracing its emblem with my index finger.

I made my way to the bed, the book still in hand. I sat at the edge of my bed as I open the dusty book,inhaling the mystic scent I used to smell. I read a few words,then those words became lines,then those lines became sentences, then those sentences became paragraphs and those paragraphs brought me to the world I dreamed to live in.

As I read the book,sinking deeper into the fictional world I want to call my reality. As I read this book, I slowly flush down all my worries and turned then into excitement as I flipped its pages.

But like my life, you can't help to feel anxious on what's about to happen next. That's why you have to keep going to see it unfold before your eyes. I kept flipping the pages one after another, finding myself unable to stop.

Nonetheless,its so glad to go back to the thing I used to love.
