Lessons from Alice – II

How queer everything is today! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle!

It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.

It takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place.

The nutcase

These are some things people have tried to teach me:

Trust yourself, not anyone else.

Don’t expose your insecurities and weaknesses to those around you. Not even to those closest to you.

Never say anything to anyone, that can be used against you

In short, the world is full of cruel people, all set to trample over you.

The “gist” of it all is, don’t get too involved. Stay aloof. Don’t mull over things over and over in your head till they drive you crazy. And whatever you do, don’t cry your eyes out. Be strong.

But I oppose all the above points.

The world seems to be crashing down every other day. NO clue what life is bringing, no clue if every passing moment is making me a better person. And yet, I trust, I share, I confide, I love, I expect to be loved, I care, I take every cruel word to heart, I cry, I battle, I fight, I laugh, I make friends, I sing, I keep the hope alive. And yes, I am strong. But thats the way I live my life. I get involved. I feel every emotion intensely. I experience every sensation and lash out at every injustice. I am a nutcase Proud to be one.

Lessons from Alice – I

She hastily put down the bottle
saying to herself: “That’s quite enough-
I hope I shan’t grow anymore-
As it is,I cant’t get out of the door-
I do wish I hadn’t drunk quite so much!”
