It's not a beginning of a fairytale. I don't write these kind of things.
'When you went away I became a hopeless drifter.'
Today's post is about hopelessness and about drifters. For every human being life can be a different thing. There are many kinds of leading a life. Some people consider living as staying in their rooms all the time, reading books, leading a passive life. Some people would like to 'seize the day'. Some people don't really know what makes them happy and what they'd like to do - they are drifters.
When a person becomes a hopeless drifter?
We, human beings, we have our priorities. When a person knows what is important for her and what is not, she walks in the right direction, but... Something happens and pulls her down. By the time passes by, the things that used to make her happy have influence on her no more. People who know her, forget how she looks like smiling. She leaves her way. Every single day seems to be the same as yesterday. Apathy is something that appears in her life. She has no idea what has happened to her. And this person is a hopeless drifter.
I don't know when and how I became one of hopeless drifters. I've seen how my passions walked away; photography, journeys, meetings with friends, learning English. The best thing for me to do is to lock the door and sleep, sleep for days or weeks, or even for months, until this hopelessness will be gone. Unfortunately, I can't do this, still staying here as a hopeless drifter.
Take care.
