Focus, the key to life.
As the title says, focus. I’m losing it. Not literally speaking, my spectacle power hasn’t gone up drastically for the last 5-6 years. I’m talking about thoughts. I was walking back today, when I abruptly lost a train of thought suddenly with no provocation at all. Frustrating trying to trace it back.
Not the first case too. Lately, I find myself wandering off, chasing butterflies would be an apt term. When I was in high school and stuff, I loved Sherlock Holmes and took quite a few tips while reading his stories. At that time, I can follow a conversation and mentally pick up a lot of details on a person. You COULD say mentally undressing someone, but that’s rude, isn’t it? Lol. So yes, I mentally pick up a lot of detail on a person. In a 5 minute conversation, I can see if a person has had his / her clothes ironed, if there were any indication of food on the clothes, if a person has had a walk through a park or has been sitting a lot… that kinda thing. I’m the guy who tells you your zipper is not all the way closed or if you tucked your pants into your sock (or your skirt into your panties? Haven’t happened before though.)
Things are different now. I can’t focus. Having a 5 minute conversation means my brain picks itself up and walks away within 2 minutes. I catch my own eyes glazing and I mentally blank out from the conversation. Bloody irritating especially in lectures. I must admit though, it does not happen to all conversations (almost all lectures though, I’m sick of it). I’m bored of the topic? Maybe. But that line of reasoning points to me being increasingly selfish, yes?
