Things looking up
I handled a crisis without letting fear creep in
I called up three friends I hadn’t spoken to for some time – just like that
I have friends to bail me out
I didn’t call someone I desperately wanted to
I got out of something cleanly
I wrote something I liked
I called up home more regularly
Things still looking down
I couldn’t control my temper at the office
I was part of office gossip again
I didn’t call some friends I should have
I snapped at my mom jut coz I was in a crappy mood
I was not prepared for a trip
I still don’t have a fucking clue of what to do with myself
I am still miles away from becoming a person who can bail someone out
Things I did that I hadn’t
I made rotis – twice. One of them turned out to be perfect.
I cleaned up my place
Things I did that I always do
I slept late
I half-listened, half dreamed
On the parent-child relationship in Girls will be Girls
