Daily Prompt:
( Green-Eyed Lady
We all get jealous from time to time — what wakes the green-eyed monster for you?)
Jealousy is relatively easy to talk about. And social networking doesn’t exactly truncate jealousy. The usual things like hanging out, missing out or not having enough money or opportunity does and make almost everyone jealous. And relationships. Definitely.
But I’m not gonna talk about jealousy.
Its not jealousy. No that’s the wrong word.
I compare my life with others. Subconsciously. Autonomously.
Recently I discovered love of having honest conversations with people. Real people. People who would open up and talk about themselves and talk about the things that matter.
And the more I do that, more stories I gather.
People and their stories are amazing. Some climbed to Everest and same people trip a lot. Some stupid people haven’t been to Marine drive even after staying in Mumbai for twenty years. Though I don’t blame them, I know the feeling. Some can’t stop talking about their hometown.
They talk about everything. Family problems. Issues with friends. Professors. And the usual suspects.
People I met on blog are no less. The stories I read here torment the heart, soothe the heart. Make me laugh and make me cry. Some fascinate and some I can’t read more than five words because well I can’t understand what’s been written.
Yesterday when talking about the most embarrassing things which happened to us, I had none. Nada. Zip.
And that’s my usual answer to many things. I have to pick my brains for a long time and most of the times my stories are so puny. So inadequate.
And that’s funny because I basically write stories for hobby! I should be able to voice a past experience as a great story shouldn’t I?
A few years ago this would depress me. Sadden me because I would have felt I haven’t achieved much. Haven’t done anything.
And this is wrong isn’t it? I am supposed to say bravo and wow to their stories ain’t I?
Maybe someday I will stop feeling inadequate when I compare myself to others. But if that happens then I won’t push myself for something new either.
Guess I don’t have the answer to that one.
Let’s see what others have written:
