A spark from the past to rekindle the present

Have things really  changed that much , where is that desire to write  something atrocious, to  write  something really from  the heart, to capture a  moment,  to frame a desire  or to live through a disappointment. I was just reading through my own blog randomly, i do that sometimes when i need to connect with a  me from the  past to actually notice change or the lack of it.

I do it when i dont enjoy what  i have written when i feel that its forced, and usually that either  gets me writing better  or  stops me from writing  completely. Either  ways  it works  because the end product is quality.  And  it prevents  a waste of time  , yours, mine, ours. Today iv written and saved two posts before i write this  one.

The stories that  i told once  were all lies  id like to say that , but honestly they were all true, i have lived an excitingly boring life  just like you , iv breathed in the same air had similar desires and achieved similar feats of mediocrity. Some of my desires did come through some  never saw the light of the day and then there were  others which took  a breath and died. But thats the circle of life  isnt it.

I can feel the restlessness i felt at times before , maybe it was just  the youth, maybe it was something else  but i tend to react differently now. I wont say im old  id say im wiser . But i still have a  long way to go. The things that affected me then still remain its just my reactions to them have changed. I recently came  across something id come across before  , its called the  90 / 10 principle , which is basically motivational crap but interesting. It says that  you  are not in control  over 90 % of the things that happen to you , however you  are  in control of how you react to them. A younger  me would  just not agree  to the  loss of control and  yet in every post i read  i feel  thats exactly what i was  fighting. Thats exactly  what  i complained about , i complain less now.

Its  weird how  i use to make such mountains out of molehills. I mean every failure , every disappointment every little  obstacle seemed so big, it seemed soul crushing. Yet i did survive through them, retrospectively thinking i did sit for the  GMAT that  i had  missed because of a missing passport, did go abroad to Europe , did see different cultures and did study. I still haven't found love but my search for it has taken a  back seat somewhat (and  honestly  that  is a  bit disappointing  , but it doesnt really drive me to madness, maybe  the  spark will ignite again), and  im a little less unfit, the smoking continues, but alcohols out of my life currently (Gujrat will tend to do that  , god every post has a  beer mentioned in it what  was  i doing) (giving you some  context  was reading some of the posts from 2007). But yes basically lifes changed a bit and remained  stagnant at the same time, some of those desires still live  but then the  way i behave and react to them has changed.

Basically Life is good i get to meet keren on alternate weekends  , well its  comfortable and the  conversations might be  different but the  tone  is the  same and the  familiarity is wonderfull. The new roomies are ok , i have been quick to jump the  gun on being judgemental and find it difficult to handle one mate, but i think ill work on that.

But the  biggest achievement is that  im back at this  and the sparks been ignited yet once again,  the rivers of consciousness runs deep, the  voice  within me is rising  wanting to speak, i hush it no more and train it to get louder for it has a duty to me  yet left incomplete.
