The City That Never Sleeps

Recently, I have been trying out an experiment on myself. I am trying to see if I can play the loner in school. And I realise I’m failing freaking miserably. I guess I can't pull of the Robin Crusoe thing afterall. I try to isolate myself from the people that surround me and try to get by the drudgery brought about by school. But I realise I simply can’t. I need to have someone to share a joke or two with, pass some remark to. Simply just someone who I can have a decent enough convo with or on the other hand to just give me free talktime. And I also realised the person need not be someone who is of relative closeness to me. All that matters is I can share something about my day with the person or converse with the person for a minute or two. So in that sense I’m learning that I can mingle with people quite easily given circumstances. And these days, I tend to ask myself if I’m truly happy a lot of times. It's like this happy-o-meter I gauge myself with. On a scale of say 1-10. I seek some sort of a reassurance knowing where I actually stand. And I realise I very often tip the higher end of the scale when I am physically around people. I can be very independent but I realise I still like to be with people. It’s like finding perfection within imperfection.
