Thoughts In A Wandering Mind

                 If I am a bit truthful to myself, these days reality is hitting me hard. There are three things which can occur to a person based on his situation: 1. Reality 2. Illusion 3. Delusion. If I were to define these for me, Reality is the product of circumstances surrounding a person which dictate a situation he is in.

There can be many reasons and factors at play but I ended up in some waning spirits forcing me out of this activity. Since I am once again able to compile something, let me quickly put forth some of the puzzling aspects of my personality.
