As I look around my place, all I see are unfinished
projects, half-finished decorating, half-finished painting resting on the
radiator, yellowing from the heat, the faint shape of the women seem to shrivel
even her breasts are drooping
In the corner gathering dust sit a couple of musical
instruments, staring at me, chords sticking out like guts spilling out of a discarded corpse, at least
I mastered Frere Jacques and they
make for interesting conversations like do you play? NOPE.
Book plots, blogs and essays squiggled on pieces of paper dispersed
on my desk, gathering dust, the ink smudged in places and the paper yellowing from
different beverages that were spilled on them. Some stories have never even
left the confines of my imagination; they just sit there waiting for
instructions that won’t come, I promised them …someday!
In the cupboard, half-finished treatments and courses of
anti-biotic from my hypochondriac days…all half-finished and expired, even as I
look down, I see only one of my legs is waxed because the last time I had to bare
my thunder thighs, my skirt only had one opening and I frankly couldn’t be bothered to go
on with this charade that is waxing! But
I stand by my choice, it’s both logical and economical and in no way lazy.
Come to think of it, even my dreams are cut-short, I always
wake up before the “climax”, I never seem to stop running and get to where I am
supposed to get, I always think I can get some amazing fantastica novel from my
stupid dreams, if only they’d finish…
My procrastination list goes on, sadly my desire to finish
anything doesn’t, but that doesn’t ever discourage me from starting other
things again…I came to realise that it doesn’t matter when you get there, as
long as you do eventually get there, procrastination is given a bad name, but
perhaps it’s a good process for some people! I am sticking to it ya!
The end.
Ps: it took me 2 weeks to write this!! Ooof
