I am caught between a rock and a hard place

Neither can I move ahead nor go back to the beginning

Why are decisions so difficult to make even when you know

What you want and what you like, the options are never easy

Maybe I will decide on the toss of a coin as it will have the

Same chances of being right or going wrong, I guess

Or maybe I will pray for Divine guidance from the higher power

Hanging on the horns of dilemma, I look for a solution all around

The Prompt;

This week explore the concept of ‘caught’.

You can be caught out, catch something, caught between two worlds, caught up, we can say we caught the flu, a cold, an unwanted malady, we caught the train or bus or a flight.

Write about what this word conjures up for you. Have fun and link your response using the link below.

I love shopping.

When I do grocery shopping, it eases my conscience that whatever I am buying is the necessity and not wasteful. So I do it with gusto. But even buying grocery I usually get too much stuff and then realize this when I am back home and sorting it out.

And if we talk about the good stuff like makeup or shoes or maybe bags, I behave like a child in a candy store. It’s such a bad habit and I am trying to break it. But since I am an impulsive person by nature, I buy a lot of things at a moment’s decision and then I have plenty of time to regret this move.

But having said that, I firmly believe in retail therapy. There is nothing like a shopping trip to get rid of the blues. Even if one does not get a lot of things, the mere act of going to the mall, seeing happy people and children there is enough to lift the mood. A nice cup of coffee and maybe a little something for yourself or your SO makes your day.

So, yeah, you can say that I enjoy shopping and find excuses to go to the mall to shop.

On the other hand, my husband is the exact opposite. He would rather not go shopping at all. Before everything was available online, I would shop for most of his stuff. I still do it but mostly online. The only thing that he buys himself is his shoes. He likes to try them on before buying them. For him, a shopping trip means going to one store only and then he is done. No going to different shops for him or browsing in stores. Well, I guess opposites attract. So that’s why we fit comfortably into each other’s lives.

All alone

Standing there

And waiting for someone

Or waiting for life to happen

Some of us spend too much time

Isolated and cut off from the crowd

Alone, in solitude and apart from others

We think that it is our choice

We feel we should have the right

To shun human company if we desire

But

Humans need other human contact

We need love and sharing of our lives

We thrive both physically and mentally

When we are in company of like minded people

No one should choose a solitary existence voluntarily

And if

It is a product of circumstances,

Do try to work out a solution

Because in loneliness we suffer

In isolation we falter and lose our identity

And when

You see someone who has chosen a lone existence

Be there for them because they need you,

Even if they do not realize it yet

~*~*~

This post/ poem expresses my views about loneliness and a solitary existence. I have seen the damage it can do.

The Prompt;

This week the image and wording can apply to any man, woman, object, figure whatever your imagination suggests to you.

Why is your figure solitary? Is it by choice or something imposed on the figure?
