Sometimes I am over-energetic and over-active and sleep for four hours in a day.

I detest at times to be all over the place in life. It becomes intricate for me so I have started maintaining the journal even to keep a count of tiny events. Waking up in the morning was a huge task for me which I have been overcoming and at times I keep on shuffling the alarm too. That’s typical of me.

Being a multitasker comes naturally to me but sometimes it takes a toll on me because my mind keeps on running from one task to another creating a huge mess for me. I have been punctual all my life so I get irritated if people don’t understand the worth of other’s time. Sometimes I am over-energetic and over-active and sleep for four hours in a day. I know it’s not good for my health. But I have been trying and maybe someday I will become a human.

I avoid talking on the phone with people who call me on purpose and that’s not always right as I believe in if you could be of any help to someone you shouldn’t hesitate. There is no harm in telling a fool that you are a fool, yet listening to their gibberish talks. Am I sounding super selfish here?

It’s not easy to piss me off but when I am writing just poke me and see the devil in my eyes. I like to write peacefully but sometimes I miss out on good conversations at home too.

That’s all about me!!
