Stupid Days
For the past two days I have let extremely self-destructive behaviour take over me.
I have for the sake of love and affection gone to stupid extremes.
Thank goodness in both cases the people involved were good friends and did not take advantage of the situation. They had a fair idea of what I have been through and what is compelling me to act so, and were supportive. I am so thankful for that.
One of them is now online but I do not feel the need to reach out.
What else has happened since I last wrote? I had a birthday and am now a year older.
Delhi has been extremely cold and one doesn’t feel like going out at all which is depressing.
I was chosen as a volunteer counsellor, they did say that the fact that I may transfer my own trauma on to the callers is a concern and that they would have to monitor me closely. Have been in training for the past three days.
Lots of interesting things in the training, lots of insights, lots of observations but don’t really feel like writing about them right now.
I am feeling a little low, yet peaceful and contemplative. Not really stressed out nor is my brain churning with random thoughts.
It’s going to be one of those days – ah well, maybe the evening will be brighter.

Hi CJ!
I guess b'days r hardly cause 4 joy any more. But still - wishing you A Belated Happy Birthday!
U know what i think - no behavior is self-destructive as long as u learn something out of every experience! And as long as u don't end up doing something that doesnt leave permanent scars.

Hi Uber!
Thanks for the greeting and I love birthdays and always make sure that I'm made a fuss of! In fact this birthday was really awesome cos I didn't plan anything but ended up doing all the things I love anyhow - buying books, seeing a flick, spending time with family, drinking with friends - it all happened on its own, which was great!
About the self-destructive thingy, you're right that one learns from every experience, but when your behaviour becomes repetitive, when you find yourself doing things that you know are not good for you, when you've had the experience before but seem not to have learnt from it - that's when it's worrisome.
Btw, Ren Lady is on the cover of Outlook - the issue on Singles - Annu - since you were interested!
