Rebirth of "That girl''
JOURNAL; 01
DATE; 19TH MARCH 2025
MOOD; BORN AGAIN
I see a girl in an upset mood, trying to decipher what is going on around her surroundings. Feeling dejected with everything is going on and trying to find her inner voice in the middle of chaos. Her inner self is far away from her and her outer self is rejecting everything she is facing. But one thing is sure, she doesn’t know what she’s supposed to do, or to be. It looks like there’s nothing she can do to satisfy people around her; everyone is around her, yet so far away. She sees but can’t look; she hears but can’t listen; utters, but can’t speak. A ten-year-old girl is trapped in a dark, damp pit, the meagre light offering no hope, only a sliver of despair.
One day, a choking sensation seized her, a painful lump in her
throat that she couldn’t touch, leaving her gasping for air, unable to cry,
though tears welled in her eyes. She could feel something running in her
throat, wanting to come out of her, but couldn’t do anything. Subconsciously,
she takes a pen and a useless exercise book and writes whatever she felt like
writing to ease the pain suffocating her throat. Now tears rolled down her
face, but she couldn’t understand why. She’s writing things that make little
sense while images keep popping up in her head like a cinema. Still, she didn’t
find relief.
Then a day comes where her mother saw the exercise book that she
wrote with a bad writing but enough to upset her mother. The mother prohibited
her to never write such things again. Such things? The girl couldn’t even
remember what she wrote. She was in so much pain she couldn’t care less. In the
middle of asking question, she thought maybe I should write again to remember
exactly what I wrote. Since her mother prohibited her writing on exercise
books, she said nothing on the sand. She goes outside and starts writing slowly
what she went through that day, and a wave of scenes comes back again to haunt
her again with tears rolling down her cheeks, but this time she’s happily
smiling. And to her surprise, she enjoys scrubbing the sand while scenarios
keep playing in her head; they haunt her but she likes the chills she gets.
That girl still wonders in a space where she clearly knows what’s
going on now. She has a voice and can see what she wants to see and what she’s
supposed to see. She thought once she grew up, she will have freedom to let
words never stuck in her throat but her expectations never saw the lights. They
still linger in the darkness. She still struggles to accept reality, but
somehow, she finds happiness in the sadness she once drowned in to find the
freedom that she once wants even though it’s still a dream.
That girl has seen a light after so much darkness that lingered upon
her, with a lot of restrictions and reality gagging upon her, she dares to
dream big and let out a voice to be heard by people who wants to hear.
That girl is going to let the first voice, first imagination, first
world building out on the of April 2025. Took her damn two years to complete
the first voice. Drama? Plenty. Procrastination? A masterpiece. And the blocks?
They built walls in her mind. Even though anxiety is eating her up like chewing
a tasty chocolate on a rain day, she actually gets courage sometimes, and she
did it.
That girl is fortunate, definitely happy. She feels like floating on
the air, but sometimes that happiness fades. Because she is still anxious,
eager to make things perfect. As if she was born to never make mistakes. I see
her dreaming every day, procrastinating and never wake up on time, but, hey! We
should never hurry life, for it never is ours to hold.
All I can say to That girl, just live.
And here is the 5th of April Big thing of that girl. Just anxietly living in this world but managed to achieve one thing finally .... 🙄
