Thinking while typing
Can't deny it. While preoccupied, I've been lazy, perhaps even shirking.
Much has happened that has given pause for thought. And while changes happen every week, planned and unplanned, when coming in quick succession they often leave the observer struggling to cope with comprehending each situation.
When friends breakup, one is left wondering how things are going to be different now. They couldn't possibly the same. The first instinct is not to react. Let things settle down. But this has happened before, with consequent unpleasantness, sadness and the inability to do anything about the above. Hopefully, it will be better this time round. Still, even being as close as one is to them, there is surprise at finding oneself feeling a strange sense of loss. Perhaps it's the loss of a couple of friends packaged together. Now they'll be friends individually.
And what about friends who've changed in their behaviour to you? All of us know someone who leave us scratching our heads trying to understand what they just said/did. To be on the receiving end of that on a weekly, fortnightly basis could be construed to be cruel and unusual punishment. To be fair, all of us are probably behave like that to someone or the other, to some extent or the other. But again, there is still that struggle for comprehension.
All of this (and many more things) lead to a feeling of lack, a strong dissatisfaction with things as they are, a sense of something missing. And again, one is left marking time.
