A Glitch & Hindsight

Every day’s the same, apart from those random Sundays and Saturdays that come, everyone's living that same day over and over again. Get up, go to work, work & rush home. I don't know who’s quote this was but it said that an insane person is someone who does the same thing every day, expecting different results. Like every day I would walk into that internship & feel maybe today I would feel like an important person but every day my boss made me incapable of anything good. Last night, I got off the metro and looked out. Everyone was so busy getting out of the train onto the platform, did they notice that the skies were cotton candy blue? Did that lady notice I got a twig out of her hair when we waited in the train to get down? Or did she just not care? It was becoming a monotonous deed every day - being nice & being ignored. Everyone pays attention to you when you act bad & they jump on you to defend their honour. Is everything we’re doing even worth it? I know I ask more questions than I answer but after a long time I am not writing an article, I am writing my own mind down. Pushing people away to get on the train, is it even worth it? Is it worth getting into a train that I might fall out of? Why are these people in so much hurry? Yesterday I stood in a line for a rickshaw and a lady begged to get in an auto, her husband was dying & she had to reach home. No one cared, women fake cried a lot; I let her get ahead of me wondering why people were so cold, unresponsive & unbothered by their surroundings.

“Excuse me miss” I looked back “ Your earphones fell out” he said as he handed me back my earphones. As I looked at him, contemplating everything I  was thinking about, maybe, just maybe people still cared, he left before I could thank him; I was rude! A glitch in the matrix!
