Delay

Posted on by

It’s one of those days where you get up and know everything will go wrong… I’m on the train and it already has a 15 minutes delay due to the fact that another broke down in the north of this speck on the globe. In that area there’s only two tracks, one for each train, each way. So when a train breaks down they all pile up like one happy family. Since they run every 15 minutes you probably can do the math yourself.

I’m on the train and I know for sure that I’ll be late eventhough I was actually running late already. This was the train that I was supposed to take anyway… I will be late but I can’t really be bothered. At times you have to let go of the timetables in your head because if you don’t, stuff is going to pile up just like those trains. So I decided to let go and trust that things will work out eventually. It will all fall in place…

That’s not what I was thinking tho this morning when I accidentally smudged and stained eyeliner all over my mouth and chin and my first thought was ‘wtf…’ That’s not what I was thinking when I got dressed and whilst doing my hair, trying to get ready to get to work asap. It wasn’t the kind of morning I was expecting at all when I woke up, still tired and wanting to sleep forever.

I’m on the bus now and even the bus is running late but like I said earlier I can’t be bothered. It’s pissing down with rain today -the sky is totally grey- so it’s gonna rain all day long, but I can’t be bothered. Honestly… It’s like I’ve given up, coz I know I can’t do a thing about it. I have no control over any of this so why would I try to go against it? I would only start to frustrate myself in doing so. So I don’t.

I’m sure things will turn out alright eventually, I’m sure there is a bigger plan today that is going to make things right, the moment I’ll trust it to do what it’s supposed to do. So I’m going to finish writing and have a look around me instead. Grey skies, watery images and the smell of wet raincoats on a lovely dreary day ;) I’d better stop writing or else I might become bus sick and puke allover myself… *hehe*

Have a beautiful day!

On The Train

Posted on by

I’ve been commuting for quite some time now. Each day I take the train and travel for nearly an hour and half when it’s a good day… On bad days it takes me almost two hours depending on circumstances like the weather, what time I leave and how busy the train is. Today it’s rather quiet and on days like this I quite enjoy the trip.

At times people annoy the hell out of me -I’m quite easily annoyed in the morning I must admit tho- especially when I’m not awake yet. People these days seem to forget that they’re sharing the same space. They’re not aware they’re having extremely loud conversations on the phone. They have a tendency to scream.

Either that or they try to impress others who can overhear the conversation. I still haven’t figured it out and to be honest I don’t want to know. To me it’s all about courtesy, discretion and keeping in mind that the space you’re in is not your own. But today is a good day… It’s quiet on the train. So quiet that I can hear myself think.

So quiet that I can concentrate on writing this post on my Samsung tablet -a gift- since I decided to use the time on the train in a productive but fun way. I’ve been postponing and neglecting writing for way too long and like I mentioned before I do miss putting my thoughts in order for a while now.

It’s an excellent way to relax and finally start updating this blog again. The only downside is that I do not get to see the amazing views in the morning. Views of frosty meadows and the bright yellow sunrise… I ain’t complaining though. I’m pretty sure that one day -probably too soon- the wonderful quiet won’t be there.

And I’ll be harshly disturbed by annoying cackling sounds of people who talk senseless unimportant stuff over their phones… Bless the ignorant ones… *just being the usual synical me*
