Rupturing Universe

I don't tick away the days till school starts and I can't find the time to arrange my books and notebooks that are just piled in a heap. All around me, I see news of a new schoolyear, a new start, and kids in uniforms going to school. All I can heave is a sigh, all I can do is watch as I try to make my askewed glasses not fall off. The world seems to go in a whirl nowadays. When yesterday my favorite pastime was turning on the airconditioner, now, I'm curled against a wall and cling to my blanket like it's some lifesaver.

Change really does come unexpectedly and surprisingly. The past summer has taught me so many things about myself and my life. Likes I liked are thrown in the garbage, and things that I would have shunned have become something of a love. As a new schoolyear approaches, something in me says that the universe I have known is constantly in a rupture.

Take my fond of chatting in mIRC for instance. A few months ago, I wouldn't have resisted the urge to chat the night away with people I knew. But now, it seems as if, chatting is the most trivial thing I can imagine. My glasses have been like my second pair of eyes literally, at times I forget that I even put it on. But summer changed all that. It got unbalanced and now it's the most unnatural thing to use it. The list goes on....my shoe size, my height and weight, my thoughts and views, my dreams and biological clock. The sun of the season has changed me.

A glorious sunset awaited me one brownout afternoon. I stood there entranced by the changing colors of the clouds and the twinkling lights of the city before me. It was pinkish when I sat in the red "director's chair" and it was quietly indigo when the lights came back. I felt as if it was life and it's changing hues and tones. It might be dull or brilliant at times, but it's always glorious. And what sent it's shifting ways? Change itself.

Change will always be a part of our lives. It might come in simple forms or a complex nature, but in the end, it comes. It took me a whole summer to realize it's importance. It took the whole sky to make me see it. I still don't feel the urge to pack my things for school, but hey, I might change later.
