Stuck Pt 1.

Have you ever been stuck?


Stuck? A couple of times. 
In potholes. 
In my car. 
Outside my house. 
Yeah, plenty.


So, to you,
being stuck is being physically restrained,
confined in a space that you can't get out of?
Being stopped from going where you are meant to be heading?


Well, that's one definition of being stuck.
What about you?
What is your experience of being stuck?


I have times where I try to stop thinking about something,
somehow it looped itself in my head 
and it ends up being the only thing I think about.
Then, there were days where I would drive aimlessly around the city.
Somehow, I would end up in odd places that still has fragments of what used to be.
Sometimes I would convince myself that I was okay.
I'll explore new places, new adventures, a whole different routine.
Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard I try because
it only takes something simple like the way someone's thumb looks like,
a phrase that was used,
It only takes very little for me to feel like 
I was back to the place that I try very hard to leave.


I think it's good that you try.
It means you stand a chance of getting out.
Getting out of anywhere is a hard thing to do.
So, I think it matters that you try very hard.


You know what is the worst part?
Being stuck feels infinite.
It's like you are blindfolded
and you are shortsighted.
All you can see are glimpses of what's in front of you
through the thin fabric of the blindfold.
And with your shortsightedness,
you are unable to even see what is before you,
let alone anything else beyond that.
And because of that, 
you're unable to get out
or get to anywhere else for that matter.

Reflection for my lack of writing

I will explain my lack of writing as a lack of things to say. However, I think I do have loads to say, I just lost my voice for a while.

My brain has been too numb to properly organized memories and mental notes made. For a long time, I have felt like a jumbled up, confused mush. Somehow, I have refused to put myself back in order. I really don't know why. There are so many things about myself that still confuses me on an extreme level.

I felt like I have grown and I have changed. I have yet to see it manifest yet but I feel the difference, I think that's what matters at this point. I have nothing to prove, at least not to anyone. I think as long as I know what I am doing things for and where I am going, I will be okay.
