sudden cravings

i have a sudden craving for an afternoon nap on a rainy afternoon and waking up in the evening.

and listening to songs which are not so recent.

sitting in the library flipping through books.

swimming and then having tea in some cafe on a weekday afternoon.

being able to read the books i bought for a couple of undisturbed hours.

writing down some deep thoughts on paper because they’re too personal to share.

having intelligent conversations with friends over dinner.

today’s heavy downpour during work made me miss these things even more. with the rain beating against the window panes, i just thought spending the time in an air-conditioned office separated from the world outside seems such a waste.

i could have been out there in the rain. it’s been a long time since i walked or sat in the rain. by the time lunchtime came, the rain had already stopped. a wasted rainy day spent on boring tasks in the office.

 

i placed yet another order for earrings over the internet. my colleagues are getting increasingly intrigued by my many different pairs of earrings. each morning when i walk into the office, the first thing they look out for is my earrings. sometimes my neighbour-in-black likes them so much she tilts her head and stares at them, taking in the beauty of earrings.

they’re works of art, aren’t they?

but art is expensive. damn.
