Back to Basics

What do you do when your life takes a giant leap from a once small affair to a big party? How does something so privately amusing, become a public show? How does a hermetical, ordinary life become so conspicuous? When do we realize that this is not what we wanted?

Recently it occurred to me that everything I do now, which doesn't define me wholly, isn't just a phase like I thought it would be. It was turning out to be a habit, which was eating away the normalcy and the simplicity of my life. A habit so persistent that doing it felt like it was there all along, and a life so fake that everything about it screamed 'lies'. 


Someone told me once or maybe I had read it in one of those sites like thought catalogs that everything I do even if it's for a fraction of a second, will define me my entire life. In other words, anything I say or think or even wish, will attach itself to the long existing chain of events that will lead to what I will be tomorrow. But it was not something I didn't know. Any person with half the brains can put two and two together to figure that out.







My question is; how does one go back to basics?
