    0811 I don’t want to go to school today. And it’s super-rare coz I’ve never had the urge to ‘bunk’ classes. There’s no obvious reason. I am just not feeling ready for 2 lectures and the general humdrum of School. 1825 Well I did go to the school. There were two classes and both were…

    0025 So … I just gave myself some new gifts. On the right wrist and all five fingers of the right hand. It pained more because cutting with left hand, you are blunt. So the time required to cut so deep, to reach the veins down, it is more than normal. I did it because…

    1101pmWell, today was not very productive. I worked only 2 to 3 hours, but its a Saturday. And I am slowly accepting the fact that I will just have to move on with this thought, the background thought, that still in my head, all the time. That’s just how it is. On the plus side,…

    Well, its 302pm. I don’t think the time restriction did much good on yesterday’s post so … I am going to write the time again. Atleast on the website, it is easy and makes sense. On Instagram, it … did not make much sense but I have deleted the social media apps so … I…

  • 03.27.25

    Hy! I guess adding the time of when I write the diary is a bit too much information so I am going to stop that from now. This could be temporary too, as is every good thing in my fucking life. You can perhaps guess Tess, from the mood, that I am agitated a bit.…

    I was roaming on Discord servers today when I found someone writing this in one of the support group’s vent space. And man does it hit home! (Copied from someone idk): If someone ever told me in 2021 or 2022, that I’d be posting somewhere how much I fucking miss you, without actually being able…

    1942…skipped today’s class. Which in detail means, bunked to stay curled in a ball of nothingness on the corner of my bed sobbing like a child. Oh god I am stupid 🤦‍♂️😄 And then went skating. Did all the ramps available. And grinded and recorded one particularly large ramp 6 times in 4mins 34 secs,…

And I’m smiling like mad lol. Finally I’ll be able to see behind these thoughts in my head and hopefully figure…

    I’m gonna post this tomorrow or the day after. But as I write it today, I’m feeling a mixture of emotions buried in me. Tonight will be restless. Tomorrow, I’m having a stall in Nust. Idk if it goes good, but I’m sure I will profit from it. Here’s the thing: it’s always down to…

    “Customer is always right” is a capitalist lie. If the customer is an asshole, (s)he should’ve treated as such. The minute you “disrespect” a minimum wage worker, even on their actual mistake, you lose your ground and you deserve every inch of hate you receive.

    I’m enroute to Peshawar on my first ever Faisal movers bus. Once there, I’ve got to cover a differently-abled PMS officer’s special education story … more like the absence of special education.

    First time eating in Ramadan. In contrast to my skinny built, I’ve always found the strength to keep all fasts, every Ramadan, starting from when I was in grade 2.

    Whenever I resume the diary of a senseless wanderer again, I’ll add this there. Life is layed out in front of me. And it is gentle and hard at the same time. I’m not soft enough to admit every little lie that is told in the name of “spreading positivity” and “promoting a strengthened mind”,…

    I hate the idea of waiting. Especially if it is for an interview or suchlike. If I have to meet someone who has some struggle in his life, and is thus a good person to have an interaction with, they won’t keep me waiting. I hate the idea of having to work for people who…

    Fall 2021 You know what? Don’t say to someone that they should sit straight or look forward or swing their arms more. I am in this deep dark abyss right now because someone used to insist that I should ‘sit straight’. I hate myself for this because my back is like 2 feet and I…

  • Stupid Opinion about PK Suffrages

    Sometime in Fall 2021 Once when I was coming back to NUST, just a couple of metres outside gate 1, I saw a girl, 16 or 17 years of age, on a donkey cart. She was with her little 3/4-year-old sister… Looking lost, perhaps thinking of where her next meal would come from, her clothes…

    It’s okay to be self-aware. It’s good to be responsible and to feel responsible. And questioning your actions before you do, and words before you utter is the right thing to do. Indeed it is.
