I Am You...

You come across a stranger’s unfinished blog, and suddenly in the middle of your reading it, there is no stranger-ness left, it’s like you know who it is by, who it is for, like it was waiting to be read, or recognized  I am not the only one leaving posts midway. We think alike, almost too same; it’s scary, it’s fun, it’s a relief and it pains. What is more funny (or scary) is the fact that you are also a designer. Well yeah, I am not a ‘designer’ per se, but that’s too strange of a coincidence. You said something about feeling frustrated all the time, wanting to hit a stranger with a shovel, and well, a lot that goes on in my mind. I am starting to almost believe that I do know you. Maybe we’re both hiding from each other. Yeah, a place to vent; what better than here. 

You Have No Idea...

I often wonder if life is the same for everyone; I mean, everyone goes through all these phases of happiness and sorrow, surprise and relief, pain and love, so it doesn't make much sense when you tell people 'you have no idea how painful/hard/sad/joyful/... it is for me'. We all have our 'you have no idea how much...' moments. But then, it is impossible to not share, to just assume the other person already understands... But then everyone has their own meaning of things, of moments, of people... of life! So, no, life is not the same for everyone after all.

People will always tell you how you will never be able to achieve something; and friends, well.. it is their job to boost up your confidence and tell you how you can do anything and everything in the world! It doesn't feel bad when everyone else have no expectations from you, but it feels bad when your friends have all the expectations in the world from you, and not only because they are doing their job of being a friend, but because they truly believe you can do what you think you can't; what you know you can't. Life is broken down to 'expectations' for you; expectations from your parents, your friends, your colleagues and above all, from yourself. They know they are better than yourself, and yet, your friends will always tell you 'you are the best, man'. They will say the shittiest things, just to make you happy sometimes! Friends...
