Get used to it.

Have you ever come across a situation when your mind goes absolutely *BLANK* ?

A moment ago your mind was abuzz with thoughts and questions which felt unanswerable... If only someone would quench your thirst for knowledge.

I might be slightly exaggerating the thought, but it has happened to the best of us. Now here you are with your questions, waiting for someone to answer them. Then you come across the Internet, the place with all things from the weirdest, most gross and horrifying to the most serene, beautiful and mind boggling co-existing in 0s and 1s. This place can hold the answers to most of our questions.

Now every person has a different reaction to this situation :

• Some people are successful in actually finding answers to their questions. 
• Some get distracted by the other forms of information available 
• Some don't even bother opening the search engine and just end up visiting the website that they usually go to

Now where do I fall in these categories ? 

All of them.

When I was younger, I tried to be as organised and neat as possible because that is what I had been taught. At some point my understanding of the definition changed from organised to categorise. If you go to grocery store, you will probably find all the products in sections with labels according to the relevance and purpose of the product. Take the produce section for reference to what I am trying to say:

You know that an eggplant is a vegetable, a watermelon is a fruit and the bay leaf is a herb. Most of us know that a potato is a vegetable, an apple is a fruit and Tulsi is a herb. But what about Tomatoes ...
Where do tomatoes fit in ? Earlier people thought that tomatoes were a vegetable but as it turns out that biologically they are fruits. Lemons are considered as fruits because they contain seeds but truly they are berries. But what about the good ol' strawberries ? Well as it turns out they're not berries after all. Instead Watermelons and Bananas are botanically berries.

'These are all useless facts and an absolute waste of time.What is she getting at ?'

 What I'm getting at Jim is that you cannot categorise everything correctly.

There will ALWAYS be exceptions.

This is what I have learnt accepted recently.

You don't always have to fall in a specific category to be accepted. You don't have to be a specific 'type' to be able to do what everybody else is doing. You don't immediately know who you are and what you are capable of. Part of the journey of our lives is to get to know ourselves before we get to know someone else.

You just have to be you.
