Earth 2023
My name is Shiva. I've lived a pretty average life since my birth. I was born in a middle class family. Growing up I didn't have many problems. My parents loved all their children. I had a big brother who worked as a teacher. My little brother just graduated from college and was looking for jobs. while I was doing the most basic 9 to 5 corporate jobs. It didn't pay well but it had the security and personally that's what mattered to me most.
From childhood I was what you can call a thinker, someone who overthink his every action. It means that for my every decision be it small, big or life changing I always think a lot and that made me spaced out or simply split between the reality and my thoughts.
I didn't even realize it until I was in school surrounded by kids my age - with whom I couldn't fit in. My friends whatever little I had, with my personality found it and pointed it out as an anxiety disorder.
Well it wasn't surprising for anyone that I turned out like that. I had no confidence, no power and simply no will to change myself or basically just anything. I was a normal guy who lived a normal life. I was always just the average Joe who you'll pass by everyday and forget his face.
Due to me being quiet and always distant I had no one who would actually take the initiative to talk to me or care for me. As I graduated from college my connection with my parents also withered away slowly in time.
In the beginning I used to call them once every other day , which later turned into a week and then into a month. Now I just message them every now and then that I'm ok and that's it.
For the past 3 years I haven't talked much with anyone if I didn't have the need too. I shut myself in my small world. My life had simply been from my room to office and then office to room.
I had no hobbies or friends to talk to. So when I was in college I started reading books and novels to pass my time. There was something about different stories that could take my mind off from the useless thoughts I had due to my brain.
And that's what became my save point - whenever I was sad or angry and whenever my brain started thinking stuff which I didn't want to I would just read the stories.
I could see myself in every other character and those characters would pull my mind out from my reality which I so desperately wanted to escape from.
And that's how I a NOBODY lived his life - nothing noteworthy.
