Between the Bars (Elliott Smith Cover) by Metric



People you've been before that you
Don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

Eid Al-Fitr

another year.

i really feel the meaning of this occasion is lost on many people. it has reduced to playing dress up and bothering over social etiquette and the neverending scrutiny.

so, today there will be more boredom and discomfort than i ever experienced in a year. who wouldn't be bored and uncomfortable other than the Raya Makciks? endless visits, sweet drinks, meaningless chatter, all the pretension - i can go on and on.

i'm not even going to bother much trying to think and act like my socialite cousins this year. it feels like selling my soul.

it's better to act my part as the sullen and awkward relative with nothing to say and not caring jack about it. i've decided i should sit apart and dwell more on Eid Al-Fitr, the meaning of life and love and all that - anything but return to the Raya world of the sickly sweet. i'm sure one can gain more benefit and pahala that way.

smile everyone.
Selamat Hari Raya.
