It's already

AUGUST. 

2010. 

Have you ever have that experience, where you suddenly realize, as if all this while you're in a dream, and now, only now, you realize that it's already a few years after? 

If you have not, Congratulations, you've been living a very fulfilled life all this while, keep it going, and stop reading into this post. 

If you have, then maybe I can safely conclude that we're on the same boat. 

A boat where all dreams and futures are dead. 

A boat where visions are crushed, minds are darkened, and hopes are no longer alive. 

A boat where people like us, the dejected, never look beyond the future to feel the thrill of shimmering success, the excitement of realized goals, the shivers of possible happy-ever-afters. 

A place where views of the world is twisted, anything but optimistic, nothing of childish, but of cruelty and how ugly people in this world can ever be. 

A place where you've resorted to living just to pass the day, as if a corpse, to continue life, like all other people, to fulfill your duty as a human on this earth, as normally as possible, without breaking the chain, or customs, or whatever it is called, just for the sake of living. 

This is when you start living life without meaning to, and once in a blue moon it zaps you back, sometimes when looking at the calendar, sometimes when someone asks you what day is it, or sometimes when a relative reminds you to attend this function which is on some date, that hey, time passes even when you aren't feeling anything, time passes even when your world is without colors. 

"If you wish, shall I take you away? 

To a place in this city where 
wishes come true."
