Threadbare? Nah!

Apologies for writing after a week! This commitment thing is really demanding and takes away all your power if you don't keep it!

My head is filled with a lot of internal noise. I cannot distinguish it from the noise outside.
A lot of noise outside. A lot of strands snapping. Thread-strands that connect me to the various aspects of my life. Many of these are snapping. Each strand snaps one by one. With each snap, all the things that I love and take for granted are getting away from me and I am threatened with desertion. Friends, family, hobbies. Strand by strand, thread by thread, they're all getting weak.

One thread seems to be stronger, much stronger than the others... It seems to be taking up all the time. So much so that it is not a thread anymore, but has turned into a giant serpent that threatens to swallow me if I lose control. Sadly it is what gives me my roti and kapda (not yet makaan). So the 'need' to tame this giant.

I'd like to think of it as a huge thestral (black-winged creepy horse-like animals, again, if you had to read this to understand it, go scold yourself for not reading harry potter!) I have to ride and reach the skies! Cause I can't particularly ride a serpent right, it would be really funny! I'd sit on its neck and slide right down! And obviously the serpent wouldn't take it in a happy spirit either, using his body like a slide! LOL. So yeah, I'll continue with Thestrals. Just like thestrals, this thread looks dark and creepy but it is what might help me reach the heights. It is such paradoxes that amuse and sooth the human mind, aint it? A relief that sinister looking things might also have some good in them. If i be with this thread and give it what it requires, it will take me places..! Or maybe not. But atleast it won't try to gobble me up!

Thankfully the snapped strands demand much more, aren't that weak, and have held on tight!
Its how you look at things, really! Isn't it?
