As I left Rotary International Club's Flood Relief Camp behind South City Hospital, I paired my berry to my car's bluetooth stereo, because the weather was nice, I decided to put on some melo tunes. Apart from drinking coke while grieving, driving alone also helps me. So there I was, in my car, with John Mayer playing, and me speeding off into the wild oblivion. I took a sharp right when exactly at that moment my plans changed and I turned to head for the seaside.. By the time I reached, Taylor Swift featuring Colbie Caillat was on. Which is one of my favourite tracks by the way, its got a lot of meaning to it. I just drove on and on, while suddenly frustration took over my senses as I had hit upon a painful nerve while being lost in my thoughts. The gears switched as fast as they could, I got pushed back into the seat as speed increased, the steering gave a prompt response to even my slightest touch, and there I ended up, at a far point of the sea, where I haven't been for the past 6 months. I was shocked though, at how much the place had changed. I remembered the times, good times of my life, when a couple of friends would pick up their cars, and we would do donuts, burnouts, drifts and drag races before this place even had proper roads. The picture you see is of the very same point. I'd taken the car off the sidewalk, just to the point where if budged an inch forward, would plummet into the sea. I was fascinated by the flow and current of the waves. How the flowed in unison, almost made me glumly smile. I lost all sense of presence at that moment while I stared at the watery depths of the sea. I wanted to drown, I wanted to put my car in gear and drive straight into the sea.. Maybe that would put me out of this misery that I'm in. I'm weighing my options. :)
