I’ve decided to leave the dark side, citing health reasons as the most typical yet has the most absolute truth in it. I’ve tried several times, failed many but this time I knew it had to be it. But I know I had to see it from a different point-of-view, tackle the situation with a twist and check all blindspots. And double check them again.
And I decided to run. Running will be the perfect substitute for someone who is alone and having loads of things on his mind. As much as I love soccer, I loathe the fact that teams are needed for a decent match to be played. For that to happen, I’d wait for ages for friends of different life schedules to come together.
Adidas trainers, G-Shock and endless tar leading round and round is all I need. Yes THAT tar. The one that I stepped on was the same one that I allow to enter my body.
I know how tough it is to quit. I’m one of the many who thought I can and that I’m not addicted. Wait, I’m not addicted; I can live without it. But can I quit? That ain’t easy, I gotta admit.
I used to hate people who come up to scold or nag about all the ill-effects. I know all the facts but do you know what I have gone through to make me choose this path? Hardly. So there wasn’t even that tiniest bit of justice in making a judgment about me.
That said, everyone has a bad habit in your life be it online shopping or pornography or voyeurism on Facebook. Try getting out of your own old habits and admit that you’ve conquered yours before you come try on my shoes.
I realized the only way to climb out of the hole, is to see how deep you’ve dug it, look up and see that light from above. Slowly but surely, you can help yourself out of the very own hole you had dug. But the most critical aspect here is that you gotta realize it yourself.
And today, I decided that it’ll be my Day One.
