Who Am I?

 Don't take "no" for an answer
There's no telling where we've been
And all I know, is that if you can find me
You may never wanna find me again
'Cause people don't understand

……
People like me.

Alphas Theme Song

At times I guess my life can be defined like a person with multiple personalities but all active at the same time.

 

So our lives are a "Good news, Good news scenario" The good news being we get there eventually. And the other good news being to get there we take the most scenic route you'll ever experience. The downside of all this is of course that most of the people we interact with are not gifted/blessed like us so they usually end up either

• Annoyed or angry - since to them we seem to be ignoring them when they ask us something.
• Confused - when our comments or answers are brief and/or cryptic
• Hurt - since we often don't bother sugar-coating our comments

I really feel the character Kat from Alphas series (Guess it is my best show - until I switch to another), she's this lady who can remember everything she's ever learnt either by reading or watching, but cannot remember any event from more than like a month ago. Things like where she was, who her friends were, what she did and all that.

The reason I bring this up is I always find myself in embarrassing situations where I forget peoples names, or at times where we met. Thus it's like "Umm.... , remind me your name" or my favourite "I know we've met trouble is I can't remember where."

So next time we meet and I ask you again, please understand.

P.S. here is another take on the subject

Newsflash – we DO feel things. Eventually.

Finally the Elections are over!!!

The Who

Man, what a rush - I guess I was surviving purely on adrenaline overload for the last one week.

To shed some light - the last elections left us with strife and deep wounds.

So here comes the next one, alliances are formed and once again the monsters are unleashed. All of a sudden, people who were sane and level headed for the last few years start spawning vitriol and ethnic slurs.

Posts on the social media either contained, or if not the ensuing discussion would degenerate into a tribal/party bashing emotional slug fest.

(I get it that the web is where most people will unleash their 'dark half' - majorly under pseudonyms.)

So here I am, with my turbo boosted multiple parallel processor mind. With each new event, I can see a multitude of timelines branching out, plus all the branches each timeline may form.

To make matters worse, (or more interesting), I've just began my medications and I'm still adjusting. So by the end of it all I can now relate to the term "roller coaster" though I don't think I've ever ridden one.

Results: Depression sets in, a vicious swirl taking me deeper and deeper. Darkness overwhelms me, I can see it all coming back. The chaos, the bloodshed, the polarization.

Finally, it's all over. The common man seems to have understood that it is all a game to the politicians, or maybe we are too tired to bother any more.

I fall into a blissful sleep, all the emotional overload finally hits me.
