What a week! To summarise the excitement of the past week in few words: phone stolen, new phone bought, project finished, deadline missed, rent paid and new attachment started.
It will never happen to me. A common school of thought of many individuals, myself included, until that something actually happens that is. I never thought that my phone will ever get stolen, not because I am some sort of special munchkin, it is just that kind of things that happens just to other people, right? Well, reality check is not pleasant. My phone was stolen out of my bag at a tube station. A significant chunk of my life just gone in less than few seconds. One does not realise the full impact of dependency on something until that something is withdrawn. I don't remember the time when I felt so at loss, cut out of the modern world in moments feeling rather powerless. Thankfully, the modern world is at ease with Internet, and on the other hand things are not that bad.
Exactly 1 month to go. One month is such a variable quantity! It could drag on forever when you are away from a loved one, or it can zoom by when there is a nasty exam awaits at the end. Why can't we switch the perception? Dragging on during revision and zooming past in separation? A wishful thinking.
Lying here on my comfortable bed, cozily curled up under the duvet listening to a calm sleepy breathing of my loved one. I wish could freeze this moment. Time, stop! Give me a break from this endless race!
