Something is not right

Day 1

Something is not right.

How exactly is this happiness thing supposed to work? I haven’t tried too many things sure, but not too many things have come to my mind that seem reasonably ‘happy’ things to do!

Day 2

Something is not right.

How exactly is this happiness thing supposed to work? Maybe if I learn to play some musical instrument… Guitar sounds great… and the cool thing to know. Maybe if I play it to myself I’ll be happy. But I have tried that, haven’t I? Was I terribly excited doing that? Can’t remember.

Day 3

Something is not right.

How exactly is this happiness thing supposed to work? I think I work too much. Not that work is bad but it leaves me with no time to do anything else. I should try something different. Maybe travel a bit. Backpacking should be fun, right? Three days will be perfect. Just let me finish this assignment and I’ll plan something. Next assignment, this is too interesting to leave. Next assignment, this is too interesting to leave. Next assignment, this is too interesting to leave…

Day x

Something is not right.

How exactly is this happiness thing supposed to work? Maybe it is a long term thing. I should slog, work hard, buy a home, secure my future, and then sit back and relax. Maybe then I will find happiness. How long do I do this? Till I reach where my boss is? He is 10 years away and doesn’t seem to be chilling out. His boss? His boss? His boss? I don’t have that long to live. Nobody has.

Day x+y

Something is not right.

How exactly is this happiness thing supposed to work? Am I already happy? Is this how it is? This is it? How do I know for sure? Happiness is too overrated, isn’t it? So what do I do now? Something is just not right. And I don’t know what.


The other day.

I just finished my assignment. The boss is satisfied by the result. I think I did well. I will sleep well tonight. Have a good long chat with someone. This feels so right.

Another.

That engine was growling too much, needed an oil change for a long time. And that steering wheel had to be straight. Finally got it done. Now it feels just right.

Yet Another.

Mom asked me to get the grocery from the store near my office. Had to get out in the noon in the heat when it is not too crowded but finally got it done. Thankfully she will not have to break her back carrying it herself. This is right. Just feels right.

So what do I want? I don’t know. I just don’t know.
