The Demons and the Light - What do I feed ???

So, been off of facebook and messenger for a while now...can't say I don't miss it...but I am getting used to not using it now... Needed a break from everything- yup, everything... Haven't been doing anything lately, nothing significant anyway. So, its kinda late and am half way through the night. Am super-excited about watching the whole SCRUBS yet again - yup, from the first episode, first season to the eighth(all the way)...and I hear the ninth is coming up soon..won't be the same, but something's better than nothing, huh... Having too much time to do nothing has allowed me to contemplate all the sides of things I never really bothered about, one being my life. I am now thinking of being serious about certain aspects of my life, for I figure its time I started learning and putting those lessons into practice. Its not a promise, but I shall try. And I really need to get out of this white-box I live in with a laptop in my lap...Haven't been going out(out as in out into the nature)... Time constraints, requirements and deadlines to meet...Its kinda exciting in an unusual way. So, what else is there ?... I have realized now that life treats you just the way you treat it back...Ohh yes, yesterday, a Buddhist monk came to my cultural diversity class and gave a lecture on Buddhism and what it is built around...Was an amazing hour-and-a-half... Learned a lot.. He was impressive. Loved how he talked about Karma, and attachments, and our pursuits and our goals, and about how the society today is. I am now at peace with myself, for things could always be better(we always want them to be better), but I now know that things could be way worse than how it is right now, and so I have to be grateful for all I have. I don't have anything to complain about, nothing to bug me... I just wish I could get rid of my cell-phone too... Don't want to use it, but have to... But I promise, the day the need for it goes away, its going right out of the window... As of now, let those ring-tones ring and those voice-mails pile up... I shall tend to them when I am free from my obligations... And reading Into the Wild again....its always a good read, especially when you want to detach from everything around you and let your mind wonder (I wish I could wander away too)). Helps you cope with the dramas around and refocus your mindset and offers a nice company in the lone-walk. I now head towards the dimming horizon as it prepares itself to hide in the screaming darkness. I shall see you when the light creaks in through the crack on the window and onto my forehead. Till then, enjoy the candles you've lit and sink into the ambiance.So long !!!
