My life in dubai apart from work is full of watching serials, listening to music, reading, going online, meeting friends for coffee, shopping, and recently blogging.
You can fill your day with all sorts of things and activities yet still feel empty inside sometimes.
I will busy self with talking and typing to friends including loads of hollow crap amidst substantial meaningful conversations.
Going shopping to fill a bursting wardrobe, and end up with an empty wallet full of receipts.
Stuffing brain with knowledge and trivial from books, only to vacate most of the information again in no time to a forgetful mind.
Stringing various intense emotions along with all the fiction, dramas and music I expose self to, then finding bits and pieces that I can relate to own life and take comfort in knowing that someone shares similar feelings and thoughts. Yet emptiness creeps in again after initial satisfaction with the end of each drama series…a song close to my heart…the final page of a book…
At times, there exists an emptiness deep within me that I can’t rid of no matter what I do. Is this supposed to be normal? To have some level of emptiness from time to time especially as we age? Coz I can’t remember having that feeling when I was a child or teenager, or was I too young to know then??
I then wonder what I am lacking in life, and how I can banish that emptiness away…perhaps this hollow feeling is part and parcel of life and it strikes you when it thinks you need it so you can reassess your life, keep things in check…??
Sometimes I stare into space to fill my void with emptiness. Duration can range from a mere few seconds to several minutes. Like air, emptiness takes up space and has weight too. Emptiness can be extremely heavy to bear.
Perhaps full or empty, they are actually the same, interchangeable, co-dependent, and fiercely co-related.
Nonetheless, even with all these full and empty talk, the glass is still half-full to me(most of the time at least), including when emptiness strikes…and for that I am grateful.

Its normal to feel empty sometimes. U r not the only one. Guess this is the sad fact of modern life. everything became more complicated. We seek more everyday yet never am truly satisfied.
