The Irony of Abstractions..
Thursday, November 29, 2007
The day my first love failed, besides being sad, at one corner of my mind, I had a bit of happiness hidden. The happiness that accompanies freedom, the happiness that accompanies being liberated from the leash. I realized, I was finally free to do whatever I want, I was finally free to make rational decisions. No more would I have to decide things under an influence of any other agent.
But in that joy for freedom, I overlooked something crucial. I failed to realize the fact that being in love had made me a better author. Today, as I go through the posts in being in love, I find it hard to believe that its me who had written that. The same me, who finds it tough nowadays to compose a single post good enough to publicize widely. The same me, who resorts to posting articles from other sources, lyrics of songs and posts which I myself would not dare to read.
So is it just love that makes a person write well? If so, then isn't it ironic that an abstract feeling helps you express yourself better, in words! Or is it the agony, the pain that inevitably accompanies love that desperately seeks a vent, and in the process ends up in the form of nice posts? God knows! Now I wish I fall in love again, just so that I would be able to write better (just kidding, I am still enjoying the freedom of being single :P ).
