Drops Of Jupiter (a nonsensical rant inspired by a song by the same name)

well, hi.

Firstly, i hope that you're having fun out there in the milky way. How is Pluto? Is it as cold as everyone said it would be? I hope you managed to cheer him up and all. What with all the racket that people down here made about Pluto being a lesser planet. How can we demote a planet like that? It doesn't matter if it is named after the god of the underworld, don't they know, Pluto is sensitive.

But you. I bet you've already found a way to cheer him up.

Thanks for that last letter.You know, I could understand most of it except for the part where Aquarius and Leo was involved. What was that suppose to mean? It looked like Aquarius was dunking Leo in the water vessel, is that what it was? I just don't get it.

How did you do that anyway? How did you write stories from constellations? It seems so fascinating to me but I guess I'll never know will I?

Me.

Earth dweller.Ground walker.

I've never even been to the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean. Never even walked the trench. Too scared of the sharks, of the unknown, of that one eyed fish with its lamp-like antennae (I've seen it in a Doraemon paperback once and let me tell you, it don't look nice). Heck, it is possible that I would even get freaked out by the planktons being the illogical worrywart that I am.

I bet you're thinking the same- "Yeah, she's always been an illogical worrywart".

You always were the free spirit, and I, the shackle.

Oh well, let's not start again.

As I am writing this, (and I am writing this under the open sky, just like how we used to wrote) the sky is not that clear. The clouds are jealous of you, you know. They can only travel the troposphere, so you have to understand why they are being so difficult.

Despite this, Orion is beautiful at any rate. Orion was always your favorite did you remember?

And because it was yours, eventually it became mine too.

All those stars- Betelgeuse and Rigel and Bellatrix and The three Marys.

They have become exceedingly familiar to me- Even if it only means waving to them from down here.

Why did you go after that shooting star anyway?

Oh please don't read too much into this.

I am not a fan of psychological games and passive-aggressive craps.

So we good then.

mmkay?

when we're thrown into something else,

how easy it is

for all dreams to be neglected

for a while at first, but it gradually becomes too long.

Then they'll shrivel.

The worst thing is forgetting.

And,

we won't even know who we are anymore.

I am just like the sky before a storm, most days.

But.

Certain people are simply sunshine!

They're unaffected by my moodiness and are certainly good for me.

Thanks :)

There's just someone's writing I am missing.

The way those words are formed-

the cool tone that sometimes came across as trying too hard,

jokes for anyone who gets them,

deliberately obscure passages.

The thoughts that let people knows.

There's just someone's writing that I miss.

Everyone needs somewhere or rather someone they can always come back to- a point of reference,a safe house.

"a song for

someone who needs somewhere

to long for

homesick

cause I no longer

know what home is"

-kings of convenience, homesick.

******

Try taking the people you love out of that place you thought you love;

and you'd find the place devoid of any meaning anymore,

being just a shell that echoes what once took place there. Just an object of sentimental values.

If I can have the person I love. The people I love with me, I imagine that we can build a home anywhere.

and be just as happy.

Because I find that home,is more about the people

rather than the place itself.

Yes, stupid people. stop littering. the earth is not your garbage can.

1) you don't recycle.

granted, it is hard to find a recycling centre around here.

2) you do not save energy.

how many hours have you let that notebook of yours on a standby mode? and do you really need all those lights?

3)And have you ever given a thought as to how much waste we produce in a day? We keep on buying stuff, keep on using stuff and the world is running out of options to manage these wastes. "Thirsty? oh buy that bottled water."

"Oh man, this paper is a bit crumpled, throw this away, gimme a new piece of paper." "Yes, i want the plastic bag, i mean, i can put this canned drink i bought in my bag pack, but oh, what the heck, the person is giving a plastic bag, why refuse?".

"Ohhhh lets buy those packaged food, then throw all the wrappers in the bin, mixed up with other stuff. Make the segregation costs exorbitant thus recycling impossible, why don't we?"

" used cooking oil? pour them into the sink. or into the drain. let's not give a thought to what it does on the surroundings shall we?"

still, we all do this most of the time, and then when conscience strikes only will we do the right thing. i mean this is understandable, we're all still trying.

what i don't understand is, on top of all these things that doesn't help at all,
you still have the nerve to litter?

i mean how fucking ignorant can a person get, right? especially if he calls himself educated.

of all the easy stuff to do, this should be peanuts.

don't catch my drift? here, lemme help:

got a cigarette butt? put the amber out. hold on to it until u find a garbage can THEN only you throw it away. Don't just flick it anywhere you want as if you own this earth.

candy wrapper and no dustbin in sight? put the tiny thing in your pocket. empty it when you get home.

I mean. come on. we've done so much damage to the world and even then we can't abstain from littering?

What? expect people will clean up after the trash?

for heaven's sake. stop being so fucking arrogant.

we share this earth.

and if you can't even bother look after it, please do not act like you have the bloody right to walk on it.

arrogant piece of shit.

let's take a breather.look around.

"I was trying to climb out of this dark hole. In my climbing frenzy I did not look around, I thought I was the only one and I felt so alone and scared. Turned out there are millions like me in that hole -panic stricken, lonely and terrified. No one notices anyone else. And in our determination not to get swallowed by that hole, we didn't realise that we pushed the weaker ones down."

i just think, that we are sometimes too caught up with our own little problems that we forget other people have sufferings too. sometimes bigger than ours.

It is easy for anyone to be selfish while wallowing in self pity.

I have been the one who pushes,

and the one who were pushed.

You, you have been both too.
