Many Rivers To Cross

This song came into my head recently...as I was packing...well, not really, all I had was an underwear, my toothbrush, my passport, two novels(for the road)a make-up case, and my laptop. So basically, that is how I was gonna run away. I was gonna just take off, not tell anybody, possibly end up in an ashram in India or a monastry in Ireland....somewhere, I will find peace and quiet and discover my true purpose in life...oh, I forgot, I took my ipod as well...just incase I had to sit and wait in train stations or something...

So...what happened was that I ended up drinking beer and watching an african movie on a roof top...a South African movie...drum...quite good....then I had to run to get the train...I came home and unpacked...the underwear, the toothbrush, the passport, the two novels, the make-up case and the ipod...

what were you running from?

And how sure are you that your new destination will not have the same issues waiting patiently to spring themselves on you?

so what made u change ur mind, really?

Waffarian said...

@buttercup: I guess after alcohol everything thing does not seem so bad...and also, I realized I have too many unfinished business to take care of...so many loose ends to tie up which will not be fair to the people that I have already committed to. I hate to let people down...so I am gonna do the mature thing,(God! I hate being responsible)fulfill those commitments and then, I am gonna leave this shit world for a while.

Buttercup said...

awww ok...i hope u get to sort it all out...i guess we all have to do the responsibility thing at some point...u'll be fine!
