I am still resisting to write here much, I don't know why when only a few years ago it felt the most natural thing to write, now it feels so strange and even scary to me to do so.
Maybe I was expecting a big welcome from this world of new strangers and I am disappointed in finding the past couple of posts without comments. I am a day dreamer you know, I tend to imagine things my way, everything and anything in life comes in an imagined predefined form and when the reality happens always in a different way I am either disappointed or overwhelmed by the unexpected result.
Ok I'll admit, it's not so much as being a day dreamer it's more like being a Control freak, this intense addictive need to control and be The power at all times. The sad truth is the more addicted you get to this feeling the less in control you really are.
Today was an example of these occasions; a friend had invited me to a Brunch at her friend's who lives near the flat I will be moving to next week. Knowing that this lady is also Iranian I had my mind set on a single track and I had fixed on what I wanted this new friendship to bring for me, you know sort of like these missiles fighting planes shoot. " Target acquired...Lock...Target locked...Fire"
Now I realize that I had this very vivid plan of what today will be like and probably what will come up during the next 6 month between me and this friend to be, guess what? Nothing about today was like that unconscious sketch of mine.
I think by now you’d be thinking what the hell am I making a fuss about , it wasn’t like I thought it would be so what? Well the way this whole thing works is that I know I missed part of today’s great experience to that predefinition of mine.
If I’d gone as a blank page now I’d be holding quite a few beautiful handwritings on me but instead I carry the smudge of erasing the imagination and writing up the reality plus the fact that the control freak in me is shattered.
It doesn’t matter how many good things came out of the experience there is this pain deep down inside, this rage, this anger screaming “how dare life disobey me?”.
So now instead of feeling happy, confident and safe about moving to a new flat where I already know 5 different very Friendly and nice neighbors, here I am feeling sort of empty and lost.
