Well I joined an academy to study for the medical entry test
and I do love it because it’s the kind of freedom I didn’t have for two whole
years (For example: being able to wear whatever I want; being able to get out
of my seat after every one-hour-class; having to study only for 5 hours; being
able to use my brain to solve questions though my brain isn’t really working
anymore). Now that I look back I feel like I was locked up for two years, in a tiny room in the basement
with a tiny barred window. I used to look out of that window but looking at the
birds flying free was painful because it made me realize how trapped I really
was. Now, I have escaped. I was mentally abused for two years and because it
was that long, I can’t really get used to this partial freedom. I’m still
partially mentally scarred.
But I do smile when I look at the birds now and I
really can see the colors once again. I’m not exaggerating. When I was coming
back home after the first day in academy with my friends I noticed that the
trees were green. I literally noticed the greenness of the green trees and I realized
how grey they were for the past two years. I didn’t even notice how everything
had become so grey and uninteresting until I could notice the colors again.
So here I am. Recovering. Still bruised. But healing.
I’m so glad I can look at my friends everyday now. I really
do love them a lot. And I didn’t even realize it. I am miserable without them.
SO. DAMN. MISERABLE. They are my support
system. I didn’t realize how much I depended on them for my happiness maybe
because I didn’t want to be “dependent” on anyone for my happiness but I guess I
am. I love them so much that even though I won’t be able to talk to them for
the five hours we are in the academy, just knowing that they are there is
consoling enough and it makes me happy and content. They are miserable waisay
hahah. It’s a step down for them after A Levels. For me it’s a step up after
FSc. I guess anything and everything would be a step up from FSc. It was a
horrible step down for me after O’ Levels so I know what they are going through
right is HORRIBLE. But I’m just so happy in their presence that I don’t care
about anything else.
I can still feel the scars on my brain. It’s weighing
down on me and yes I am tired. It’s not just me; all of my friends would also LOVE a little
relaxing time to recuperate. It’s too much. I can’t study. Even if I try I won’t
be able to fit anything into my brain because it’s just damaged tissues up
there. My neurons have swollen up and are tender. My brain is slowly swelling
under pressure. It’s inflamed and damaged. I know it is; even though the CT
scans will beg to differ.
I wake up day in day out having slept horribly. I just go
through the day thinking “Yeah just get through with it. I’ll properly deal
with everything after I have relaxed.” What that relaxing period is, I don’t
know. But what I truly need is a day or two away from everything. A day or two
away from my room, my house, away from Islamabad, away from everything
associated with Islamabad which remind me of all the things that “I am supposed
to be doing”. I’m very very very exhausted. I don’t think I can study anymore.
Even the slightest pressure annoys me and I burst out in anger because I just
can’t take anymore. I need a break DESPERATELY. Can I see a way of getting it?
No. But all I know is that if I don’t get this break, I will fail horribly in
all my tests because I just can’t take any more of this “studying”. I have been
abused too long. I need a little time before I start getting abused again.
Temporary outlet: Books and music. Good enough? A Little.
I can’t believe I stopped listening to music. It’s so
relieving. I’ll be listening to the light shallow pop crap. AND GUESS WHAT
OMG!!!!! (Yes, It is an occasion worth 5 exclamation marks) Remember how I wanted
to find a dump of books from which I would find gem-worthy-books for the
cheapest prices and I wanted it SO BAD that it hurt? MY WISH CAME
TRUEEEEEEEEEE! AND MY HAPPINESS KNEW NO BOUNDS! ANY BOOK FOR JUST 100RS!!!!!
(yes, worth 5 exclamation marks again). And guess where? Not in some dump in
Aabparah or Rawalpindi but in the very fancy very shmancy: Centaurus.
Level of wish-coming-true: TOO DAMN HIGH.
Oh I say we are grand aren’t we?
Oh oh no more buttered scones for me mate’ I’m off to play
tha GRAAAND PIYANO. Pardon me while I fly my AEYRO’PLAYN!
Day 394: Love Monty Python.
