Great things are going to happen in a couple of days.
It's another day in the life of a wimwian. Great things are going to happen in a couple of days. A lot of accolades, admiration and some criticism perhaps. There ought to be an excitement burning though life. I ought to wake up every morning charged with expectation and joy that some long held dreams will soon be realised. A thrill of having given shape to someone's fantasy and to be the creator of a life. The ecstacy of child birth.
But there are no birth pangs, and accordingly no feelings. There's just a blank slate that yearns to be marked by emotion. To feel alive - to be tense, to cry and to have hope. To not feel like it really wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't made the effort.
I wonder if my life is not spent just trying to keep busy and to do things so i can look back at them later with a sense of having achieved something. Just wish i could feel the present today and not have to wait till tomorrow.
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.

Any Post Commentary??
Post Commentary: I guess it was good. It made a difference to a lot of people, made them think and made them debate. But I can't really say the I have become a very different person (or a nobler one) for having gone through that experience. Life still feels the same. Was it worth it? I don't know..it's difficult to imagine not having done it. Life might've been different but not necessarily worse.
