Agitated Sunday.

Honestly, we do not like being annoyed but the world is a bitch and we always tends to be more and more agitated if things do not pan out our way, right? When I have some important work to do, my dog keeps bumping the toy on my keypad or grabs my footwear and starts chewing it, in a hope that I would give him attention. It sounds cute, I know but it frustrates me as what I want is just a little bit more focus while I do whatever I am doing. It is just not about it, even when I have few minutes and I think, "Okay, now I am going to clean my room, make my bed and read a novel for an hour", the doorbell rings or it's either my phone. And, when I don't get that particular free "sunday", I get super annoyed and exhausted. I shout, I scream and then I feel like crying.
                                       
Irritation. I am pretty sure, I am not alone. Here are ways I have decided to cope up with.
  1. Whenever I feel like screaming at my dog, (it's usually him), I'll take a deep breathe, calm down and show him a treat in order to shut him in his crate. It may sound cruel to you, but what is crate-training for after all?
  2. I will try to avoid thinking what people did, or how foolish or selfish they might be acting. I'll let go off all the expectation I have of them and do what I can do best within my own limits and not do what I do not want to. Why force myself in being the "nice" person? Why?
  3. I dislike the person I become when I am annoyed and usually, it's me who is bored and not the other person. I decide to take less load and do what I want to do instead of doing what I am "expected" to. Trying to be nice, I forget what my first priorities are.
  4. If I am irritated with someone, instead of taking it out, I'll count to ten and tell them that I will talk to them later when the time is right. I guess, it will be much better than shouting insults.

These are my thoughts which might help me tackle my irritation levels. Are you annoyed of the world around that often? Let me know your ways. :)

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

Why Solo Travel might be Overrated

There are people who claim to love travelling alone. They claim that it helps them know themselves "better" and have some me-time. But, I live in a city where I face language barrier and have to spend a lot of time alone. Thus, when it comes to travelling, I doubt if I would ever want to go to another place far away and wish to do the same. Roam around alone with no one to giggle with. It is hard to accept that you don't enjoy me-time, as other people have this opinion that "intelligent" people would always love to do the same. There are billion intelligent, shit-crazy thoughts that pass through their mind when they are travelling and they can manage everything all by themselves. Why would you want to spend time alone, when you rarely get to enjoy a family time? Where is the world taking you? When you are out there on the beach all by yourself, won't you miss your funny friend who makes you giggle all the time? Won't you want to be with a partner ...

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but ...
