These days Sleep kicks in, clawing it’s way
through like an unannounced, unwanted guest tracing intrusive patterns in my
sedentary life. It is extremely disheartening the way I end up feeling drowsy
and lethargic at unexpected times of the day. I always knew I had erratic
sleeping patterns but this is something I had never accounted for in my 21
years. Ma says, it is perfectly natural and nothing surprising, considering the
fact I am directionless, unfocussed and forever befuddled. Not to forget
unorganized. But then again Ma has been associating such adjectives with pretty
much everything about my life for as long as I can remember. I daresay, even at
fifty I shall remain all the above in her eyes. Come to think of it, going by
the kind of discursive life I am leading right now, such a contention seems
hardly out of place.
So be it. At fifty, I would be old, with sagging skin and
wrinkles crisscrossing my forehead, dozing off when the world was pottering
about, trying to prove it’s worth.
okay, it is such a pain to type out directionless, rambling sentences. Everything is redundant and every damn thing so useless.i have been at the key-board for the last five minutes, lazily fiddling with random keys, trying to string together formless, shapeless, disconnected thoughts.i notice tiny specks of dust have settled in the edges, lending my old, battered key-board a degree of familiarity that nothing in the world can replace. These days, i am scrounging around, desperately clinging onto whatever remnants of familiarity i can scavenge from all the disorderliness. everything changes too fast. It is such a pain to hold on when everything is being devoured up in a swirling whirlpool of Change.
Constancy, be thy name is Woman.
i think i shall go sleep now.

I love the subtle humor which comes with the greater fact you portrayed here. Sleeplessness has become a growing malady so I can wonderfully relate to the entire thing.
The last but one line remains to be a killer!! :)
thank you so much and seconded ;) but of course ;)
hmm. didn't you know, the fad of this age is disconnected, directionless, half-comprehended elusiveness.
write on.
i really hope my directionless nature is a fad, cause i hope to grow out of this as soon as possible :P
