I want to climb the mountain, but...

Saw something that made me paused and reflect on myself, my direction and my life basically.

Climb the mountain

  • I tried to climb the mountain today. As I reached my way up the path, I felt overwhelmed, so I had to turn back.
  • I tried to climb the mountain today. On my journey, darkness started to fall and I was full of fear, so I had to turn to a safe place.
  • I was ready to climb the mountain today. But it was so hot outside, I thought I better stay in my nice air-conditioned house and rest up for tomorrow's attempt.
  • I was about to climb the mountain today. But I had so many things to do, so instead of climbing the mountain I took care of much more important tasks. I washed my car, mowed the grass and watched a big game. Today, the mountain will just have to wait.
  • I was going to climb the mountain today. But as I stared at the mountain in its majestic beauty, I knew I stood no chance of making it to the top, so I figured why even bother trying.
  • I have forgotten about climbing the mountain today.

    I'm on the other side and I can tell you it's no fun

    That's it. I can't stand it anymore. I'll have to shoot the next (non-single) person who tells me that being a single girl about town is "so much fun". Who do you rely on to carry your heavy shopping? Who do you call when you are hopelessly lost on the road? Who do you "pretty please" when some menial task needs to be done? Who do you hug and never want to let go when everything goes wrong? I have not been completely open to a lot of people, primarily because the reasons behind the break-up is very personal to me. To explain them is akin to dissecting my heart, i.e extremely painful. When a colleague unknowingly brought up the topic during new year's eve, "How will you be celebrating with your bf?", from my devastated and awkward expression, he actually jumped to the conclusion that i was dumped.
