Sometimes, we do everything to keep ourselves busy and occupied and yet when there's an empty hour or two when there isn't anything to do, we aren't able to enjoy it. Instead it makes us cringe. It's the sound of silence, that brings thoughts back, the thoughts that we are trying to hopelessly run away from by trying to keep ourselves occupied. It is such a pity that a few minutes or solace that should bring joy to the human heart and mind actually turn into devils waiting to attack your soul and watch it bleed thereafter.
Why is it that in life, there is always a time when we know exactly what we want and a few years later, the same person has no idea about what he/she wants as if all this time they were living someone else's life. What do you when you don't know where you're headed? What do you do when you don't have plans? What do you when time passes you by not in minutes but in years and months and you're left waiting for a sign or direction from somewhere, a light from some tunnel that can guide you to who you used to be.
Why is it that you sometimes cannot find the missing piece in your life no matter how hard you try and then the puzzle plays in your head over and over again, from the moment you wake up to the moment you sleep. If you're lucky, you do get some sleep. What's the point of it all? This life, the things we want, the happiness we are looking for. Why is it that even when you decide that you will be the only one responsible for your happiness, it won't work that way because in the end, you lay your happiness in other people's hands. Why do friends become strangers and strangers seem friends? Why do people who we love the most always have other people to love? Why are some people born weak and others stronger?
Why does the sound of silence haunt some and brings a smile to the others?

I think we all have periods in our lives when we feel like this, when we ask ourselves questions like this.
If we don't do this...we don't grow- evolve as individuals!
Every experience, every lesson and every failure is a well-designed episode in your life. And trust me, it will help you learn more about yourself. Failed relationships, lonely days and nights, confusion...you need all of it. :)
@Jen : I'm sure you speak with a lot more experience and this might be true except that sometimes being directionless at the most crucial time can be the worst. I mean it's always great to have a challenge around but not when its long lasting.
@Ateesha : Trust me I don't need this. I've been through this and I thought I'd sorted it. Apparently, not !!! Plus, frankly I am not learning anything about anyone except learning to bite my toenails with my teeth coz i feel like doing nothing else !
