R.I.P soul
Human beings cant mate monogamously. Mating monogamously is now the exception rather than the rule. At least thats what I have seen and heard. That is the only reason which could offer an explanation for the alarmingly high number of people who cheat on their spouses. Lets face the truth. The reason that our species has survived upto 200,000 years is that we are really good at one thing- fucking. The Strong (Subconscious) desire to procreate leads us to be attracted to newer, better people.
Looking at it from a purely biological and secular point of view, having multiple sexual partners becomes a rational, justified choice. No guilt trips. No fear of invoking the displeasure of God.
But why is that , at the end of the day,when Jane stands near her bathroom window, having a cigarette in the darkness of the night, staring at the sky and the moon, the feeling of guilt creeps up all over her. She knows that she is not hurting anyone. She knows that its all mutual and consensual. Is it the status quo and their flawed ethics that makes her feel like this? Are the ethics flawed in reality or is it some bullshit that janes feeds herself to keep it together. Its like having a delicious high calorie meal. It feels great as you are doing it but the regret comes later on. I know what I am doing and exactly why I am doing it. Then why the fucking guilt trip.
I am a product of society's conditioning. I blame the people. *sighs*

Because I got High
The experience that I am about to share is one about which I was uncertain whether I was going to be alive or not to share.
It started with me reaching my friend's apartment. Me and him were supposed to get high on hashish. I have had hashish 5-6 times before so he knew that I wasn't a noob, neither was he. He said that the guy he got it from told him that it was the best quality shit.
I sat on the bed. I relaxed. I started smoking the joint, slowly inhaling in the smoke, keeping it in my lungs for as long as I could and then exhaled it. I knew nothing much would happen except me feeling a little light headed. I knew that the whole 'High' is a worked-up, over-stated placebo effect that people experience because they THINK they are experiencing it. My friend only had a single puff. He said he would have it later.
So anyway, after I was done smoking the entire joint, I started having the sensation that you get when you havent slept for 3 days. Everything was spinning. My eyes were getting heavier. My friend was talking to me and I was talking to him but the voices sounded so distant as if they were coming from another room. I looked at my friend's face and I remember clearly looking into his eyes. Then I zoned out. It was as if I didnt exist anymore, like nothing existed. I entered a different dimension. I was struggling to remember what reality was. I asked myself what is real? I was looking at myself in the mirror, talking, saying my name, my age, where I live just to remind myself who I was or what reality was. It hit me that I was loosing my mind.This was no fucking placebo effect. I tried to sleep but i couldnt relax. I was having paranoid delusions that my friend might try and rape me. I wanted to cry but I knew it would freak him out. I began to puke and it felt like my insides were going to explode. I begged to be taken to the hospital. I just wanted to be sedated. I wanted it to stop. It was terrifying. I kept thinking whether I will ever get out of it. I thought about how I would never get to see the face of my friends and family members. But In the back of my mind I kept thinking IF i ever make it out of this alive, that would be a story to tell.
I dont know how I walked out of the apartment,how I went in the elevator and got in the car. I just wanted to collapse on the floor . It was like I had left my body and was looking at it from somebody else's perspective. My friend drove me to the hospital. I remember laying on the hospital bed, I could hear voices of nurses and doctors. I could tell that they had this resentment against me. They thought I was an addict. I wanted to tell them that I was sorry, I wasn't this kind of girl but I didnt have the energy to. Just telling them my name took up alot of effort. My phone rang and I remember that I couldnt even asnwer it, I forgot how to. They gave me oxygen through a nasal tube. I got several drips and injections but I didnt even feel the pain. My body had become numb even to such a powerful stimuli as physical pain. I heard the doctor say that there is no way she can have such a strong reaction to something like hashish if she has had it before. I wanted to call me parents. I didnt care about the consequences for in my world, I was dead already.
I woke up in the hospital bed at night feeling better. The doctors told me that I had had a heroine cigarette, a very potent one. I would have overdosed had I not come to the hospital.
My friend dropped me home. I came home and told my parents that I was really tired and went to bed straight ahead.
I woke up just now after 17 hours. I thought it was a dream but the scar and the pain where the cannula had been is a proof that it was real. My sleep was like passing out into nothingness. It was black and without any dreams. I always wanted a very unique experience, one that makes me look at life in a different way. I think I got more than I bargained for.
It feels like I died yesterday and came back to life. I dont know how to react to this. Should I be euphoric, embarrassed, apologetic, grateful , all of it or none of it? I can now understand why and how one becomes a heroine addict. The feeling is something completely out of this world., something one cant even conceive until one is actually in that position because one doesn't know that it is humanly possible to feel that way.

Things are looking up(really?)
I got into the university that I wanted to get in. Whats better is that this guy that I have been infatuated with, also got in. Now I will get an opportunity to interact with him. Things are looking up, I suppose. I feel this weird sense of accomplishment. Its a feeling I haven't felt in years. I like this feeling.
But there is a major betrayal here. A betrayal to my past self. If my past self would look at me right now, she would snigger in condescension. She really looked down upon the college that my present self just got into. The past me had so much planned out. Things that were bigger and better. Maybe the past me was naive and overestimated her worth. Have you ever had this experience where you would look at a situation and silently whisper to yourself 'I wouldn't be caught dead in this scenario' and then years later you find yourself in the exact scenario? Its ironic. Its ironic how overly(wrongly) enthusiastic and aspirational you appear when you look at your optimism in retrospect.
whatever though. I got what I wanted for now and I will cherish it.

The pessimist
I was watching a movie with a friend. For me, the movie was just a video playing in the background. Nothing more than a series of images and sounds, Meaningless. For my mind, at that moment, was miles away, maybe lost in a completely different universe all together. Even if I tried I couldn’t have focused. I didn’t have the energy or the will to make sense of it. Nothing makes sense right now.
Sometimes I wonder whether I will ever get to see life beyond Karachi. What if I never do? There is a heavy chance that I wont. All those images of the world abroad, would stay just that. Images. I’ll never know what a deserted beach In Thailand looks like. I’ll never know what it’s like to take a walk in New work Central park. I’ll never know how tall the Eiffel tower actually is.
Life would pass me by. I would be older with a job that I don’t really like, but it pays so whatever. I would have a husband that I married just because everyone else was getting married and I thought that soon I would become too old to find a guy, so I just married. I would have kids that I never wanted to have in the first place. I would be wrinkled and fat. Maybe that day never comes where I look in the mirror at my naked body, and actually like what I see. I would be overburdened with responsibility. I would look back at these times and think how happy I was. People that I would have wanted to associate myself with would probably have left the country. It's a sinking ship.
Sex would become a chore. Nothing that I would look forward to, Nothing like I had fantasized as a young girl. It would be a dark room, with me and my husband, both of us exhausted after a long day’s work and on the verge of falling asleep any minute. One of us would probably be fantasizing about another person while the other preoccupied with tomorrow’s work schedule.
Orgasms , for me, would become an urban legend, a myth or an idea reserved for novels and films.
I would continue to daydream like I do right now, wondering what life would have been like in a different time, at a different place.
