A Normal Day That Was Not Normal Inside

Today is June 1.

From the outside, it was not a dramatic day. I took my accounting exam, came back home, and continued with life like people are supposed to. Nothing big happened. No major event. No visible breakdown. Just a normal day.

But inside, it did not feel normal.

There was another exam waiting for me, and I knew I should already be studying for it. I knew exactly what I was supposed to do. But knowing and doing are two very different things when your mind is somewhere else. Sometimes your body comes home, but your thoughts remain scattered in places you cannot even name.

For almost two weeks, I have not properly talked with my family. I do not even know the exact reason. It is not hate. It is not carelessness. It is just this strange distance inside me. I feel disconnected from everyone, as if I have nothing to say even when I know there is so much happening inside.

Maybe I have always been a lonely person. A loner, somehow. Maybe I was always built a little like this. But after that connection broke last year, I started feeling it more often. The painful part is that, for a while, I had believed I could become something else. I believed I could come out of that loneliness. I believed maybe I was not made only for distance.

And then that feeling was taken away again.

Since then, I do not feel completely dead, but something in me does not expect much from people anymore. I still get sudden urges to create, to learn, to become better, to build something meaningful out of myself. But I do not always have the energy to follow those urges. Some days, even wanting to become something feels heavy.

After showering, I was scrolling through my phone when I suddenly felt like writing everything down. Maybe one day, if I have a family, I will show this to them. Or maybe they will find it even if I never show them. Maybe future me will read this and remember this day as just another difficult evening. Maybe I will laugh and think, “Ah, that was everything?”

But at least this moment will exist somewhere.

While I was showering, I was singing. Out of nowhere, I felt this urge to learn vocals. I do not think I have a great voice, but still, I want to learn singing. Not because I have someone to impress. Not because there is a stage waiting for me. I just want to sing better because I love music that much.

I want to respect the music.

I was listening to Maya by Barsha Thapa, and that song still feels special. Some songs do not just sound beautiful; they become containers for memory. They hold people, places, feelings, and versions of yourself that no longer exist in the same way. One song can sometimes carry more emotion than an entire day.

Life feels strange right now. I do not know where the endpoint is. I do not know what happens tomorrow. I do not know who comes into my life, who stays, who leaves, or what all of this is supposed to become.

There is still this idea of finding someone one day. Not because I need someone to make my life colorful, but because the possibility itself exists. And that possibility feels both exciting and scary. You look forward to it, but you are also afraid, because you have no idea who comes next or what they will bring with them.

Maybe I am just lost right now. Lost, tired, disconnected, and still somehow full of small urges to create, sing, write, learn, and become. Even inside all this confusion, something in me still wants beauty. Something still wants art. Something still wants music. Something still wants to be understood, even when I do not know how to explain myself properly.

Also, my right foot hurts like hell.

Even that is part of today, I guess.

So this is June 1: an exam day, a lonely room, the next exam waiting, a shower, a song, a painful foot, and a mind that does not know where it is going.

I do not have answers tonight.

But I have this.

I have the fact that I noticed what I was feeling and wrote it down.

Maybe that is enough for today.

“Even if I do not understand everything yet, I am still listening to myself.”
