Ecstatic Failure

Think it over

Emancipation

This quote is a personification of me:

"I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe."

It's from Frankenstein

It is how I feel deep inside, maybe there are other people who feel the same way, but I guess they form a minority. These are the people who have kept everything bottled up inside, who have kept their own lives so secret that even their closest friends are unsure of what they really think.

And today, I declare that I also belong to this category, I have kept my life completely secret. There are parts of it I do not remember myself; these are the parts that I have purposely blocked out of my consciousness, in order to forget. But I don't realize that in the process, I have blocked out my most prized possession, my memories.

Memory is something very uncanny, I wonder if animals also have it at the same level of complexity as us humans. It is something that can drive you to do things you thought impossible, just a 5 second memory can sometimes brighten up your entire day and leave you feeling elated. It is something so unique and something so forgotten as well.

Well, I think I have digressed about the merits of memory. I just want to tell all those people who keep everything bottled up inside, don't do it. i would like to write more about this but I simply don't have the tools and enough experiences to relate. I can only tell you not to do it.

As they say, keeping things bottled up inside, only makes them hurt more, they are not going to go away, they are going to keep nagging you, always. Don

"Maybe there are other people who feel the same way, but I guess they form a minority" --- I wud like to tell u that they are not...most people bottle up their feeling,mostly resentment,caused by the dashing of their hopes and aspirations,coz lifes rule is that you never get what you want most badly.

i dont know.

i have had some really bad experiences in life...a bad end to a good story kinda ball game.. and id rather zip it up, lock it and put all those memories in my pocket.. coz everytime id think of the wonderful time i did have, it leads me to the awful pain i went thru rite after dat..n the pain always as a rule overwhelms my joy.

i say why think of a joyful moment in the past that brings a tear in yer eye the very instant it brings a smile on yer face?

@Shrink: well, all i can say is that rule sucks bigtime :(

@June: "i say why think of a joyful moment in the past that brings a tear in yer eye the very instant it brings a smile on yer face?"

Because sometimes, that memory keeps you sane, keeps you alive and lets you enjoy life in a bitter-sweet manner for that instant. :)

ya there are other people,infact i am the one who belong to the so said minority---sometimes it's not our choice whether to bottle up our feeling or not,long back when i said what i felt no one including my family did care,years passed, things changed,yet nothing could change my feelins.only thing i could do is bottle up my feelins and as well those cherished memories for the sake of two families dignity.
