The man, the circle, the world.

"You, one lonely man.

On an almighty planet.

The world. Against. You."

He walked the chaotic streets in silence. With sluggish pulls his feet dragged against the cold hard concrete floor, his head hung low. In his mind there were so many things running through he found it almost impossible to think straight. Ever since he entered the circle nothing went right. Nothing. The night sky attempted brilliance with the crescent of the moon and the occasional shimmering of the stars, yet all he took in was the gloominess of the impending clouds. 

Grey. He felt the grey and the loneliness.

In the circle everyone had different characteristics. Some were the most beautiful beings on earth, someone were bequeathed with wealth, and there were the occasional few with a decent heart. In this circle everyone lived lives against the traditional norm. There were some who tried to gain acceptance from the world, while some simply rebelled and started their brand new lives. But there was one thing that bound all of them together- and that was to seek true love. True love, however, was too intangible in the circle. Everyone was too materialistic and focused on the immediate gains, with none who had the far sight to see what they really want.

So when he entered the circle, he struggled and lived a living hell. Delusions and self-deprivations tossed him into a realm of pain and regret. He fought to get out of the circle, but like a ravaging tornado it just sucked him back in, deeper and deeper with every futile attempt at escaping.

He was lost in transition. The circle, it appears, was his nemesis.

Truth vs. Expectations

"Truth hurts. Like boulders

That comes crashing down after

A ghastly landslide."

People say that expectations are good. When you expect something, there is a deeper yearning that makes you believe what you perceive in your head. When you expect you results to be good, your head pictures the joy and happiness of the celebrations of stellar grades, culminating in an euphoric moment that only you have the privilege to experience. Similarly, when you expect your results to be bad, you picture the possible ramifications that accompanies the announcement of your grades. The feeling of negative expectations bugs and torments you. Yet even negative expectations are good because it comes with a great degree of certainty; you are ready to deal with any possible outcomes because you have already expected it.

So in this case expectations are like perceived truths. These truths are what you strongly stand for because your mind, body and soul are already acclimatized to the expectations that you have.  In a way your expectations direct the way you live your life. So when what you expect defies reality, you find it incredibly hard to accept. Especially if it was a complete opposite of what you expected. At this point in time you start to doubt yourself severely, questioning your rationality and sanity. When perceptions are a complete contrast from reality everything becomes a hoax. But this is how the world works. Because nothing will go the way that you want it to be. Invariably there are bound to be disappointing moments that keep you in a state of perplex, when you will never be able to figure out why the world and the people around you are the way they are. You wonder why nothing ever goes the way you expected it to be. 

Deal with it. Because you live in a world of ugly truths.
