The guitar riffs play loud I adjust my speakers again and get back to staring at my laptop screen. So here I am with my toes constantly tapping against a badly beaten wooden ledge that connects two parts of my table. An empty coffee cup lies on my left right next to a glass of water which is half filled. On my right there is a pack of Marlboro Gold Advance kept right in front of my wallet with the lighter placed on it .
The door to my room is locked , like it has been for the past 2 years. This is my zone and time is a no issue here nothing ever is more important than this. With the I-pod plugged in my ears . I feel a touch of emptiness , a void in my head. Its the same as nicotine withdrawal in a way that it plays with the mind just like the lack of nicotine does.
I stare at my wall and I notice 3 notes. I haven't noticed them for a while now. They were messages of love and farewell given to me by my closest friends when we graduated. I have missed a lot of small things. I'm discovering them piece by piece starting today.
Today I Quit Twitter. With over 50.5 tweets per day and that includes the first two months of indifference because of a lack of understanding of how it worked. You can say I'm a tweet-addict . I published my every move from the traffic woes of Delhi to the contents of my laptop I have bared my soul on twitter and I Haven't been careful about what I tweeted when.
And as of now , I feel tired. I don't want to be in a constant mode of revealing my self to the world. I want to take control of my life from here . My life has to change in so many ways and believe it or not but twitter is being a hindrance.
I spend most of my time staring at my phone . While at work or when in my room chilling on my own or in a party somewhere. I am in constant mode of 'revealing' my thoughts and opinions and today and more importantly now its curtain call.
If you have known me for a month and have read my tweets for just half an hour a day , beat this you know me better than my close friends do and that is scary.
Twitter has changed my outlook towards life , most certainly. I have grown and accepted more than I thought I ever could. My opinion on the LGBT community being the most significant gain among all the things I take away from Micro Blogging.
I'm going and probably it won't make a difference to anyone firstly because you guys have many followers and then out of sight out of mind holds true right ?
'Venting' is a very integral part of my life . All the piss heads around me made me tweet and now they shall make me blog . While I might be away from communicating. I'm not giving up on venting yet. On a boring sunday evening , come back to this page and hopefully you *will* know what I'm upto . I intend to write everyday or well as much as I can.
Life has just begun and I can't wait to do what *I* want with it. So right about now I'm going to start with 'The Fountainhead' . Right about now , I will do what *I* think is right . Right about now all I'm going to think about is my own self.
