Easier said than done.

Someone dear asked me to blog about five things each that I like and dislike about myself. After many false starts and many months I got back to it. My attempt...

1. I fear. A lot of my time and abilities are consumed in the process of dealing with fears.

2. I rage. And I take immense effort to keep my temper under control. It’s like having to hold your head still to stop it from throbbing.

3. I miss people to a degree where my mind is paralyzed or frozen with that emotion.

4. I care. I can’t say no. It’s absurd. And it tires me.

5. I feel I’m somewhat…mildly…averse to everyone in some corner of my mind. It disturbs me.

On the other side…

1. The things mentioned above never mess with me to the extent that I’m left grappling visibly. I love my ability to compartmentalize and function. And I think it’s something that gets better the more you do it.

2. I’m committed. For people, who make me want to be there for them, I’ve unending reserves and limitless energy.

3. I love the way my mind synchronizes words, ideas and images in a matter of seconds for those rare lines. It’s hard to discern what goes on and it gives me the best of highs.

4. I care. It’s the one of the most rewarding parts of my life.

5. I laugh. And people laugh with me.

Easier said than done.

You know what .. I have never believed in that line.. "Easier said than done".. :) If you have the right attitude you would always do it.. or not do it.. If you dont wanna do it, why would you even think of doing it and crib its easier said than done.. gettin my point ?

one more thing... the fact that you care, makes others care too. not even JUST about you, but also abt things they thought they vaguely cared abt but weren't sure :)your passion sometimes just oooooooooooozes out of you :)

i know this is month's LATEr. 'you know when you can touch, when you can feel, but when you can't and it still evokes the imagination, the illusion created- that's most real.'
