I don't wish to die, rather I desire to not exist. To not have to experience this anymore. To never have been born. To go to sleep, forever. There is such bliss in nothingness, that I will never get to feel.
Idk WHY my brain is itching so badly for this but I’ve had Phantom of the Opera on repeat today (separate random brain itch) and I kept having the thought of Rick singing the phantom’s part and Amy Lee singing Christine’s part AND I CAN’T GET THE IDEA OUT OF MY HEAD IT’S HAUNTING ME I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF THAT WOULD WORK VOCALLY LIKE AT ALL BUT THE VOICES IN MY HEAD NEED IT SO I’VE JUST HAD THEM SINGING DIFFERENT SONGS ON REPEAT TO TRY AND PICTURE IT HELP ME
March in India is warm. It's not supposed to be as warm as it is today, but warm regardless. Everyone is celebrating Holi today - the festival of colors! I am not exactly sure when, but at some point the festivals lost their hue, for me atleast. Can't say for sure if others feel the same way. To me, a festival nowadays signifies nothing more than a day off work where I can be as gray as I want to be.
So, its a holiday. I decide to eat at a restaurant because I don't feel like cooking, or doing the dishes. I dress up, put on a colorful outfit to feel the joy of the festival. (Spoiler alert - I don't.) I order a cab and get in it. A wonderful application on my phone makes it so that I do not need to have any kind of interaction with the person driving me to my destination. We sit in silence, I buckle in for the journey - it's going to be a moderately long one.
I do the most productive thing one could do in a moment like this - I unlock my phone. I stare at the black and white wallpaper for five seconds before locking it back. I am suddenly reminded of a text I received this morning that I still haven't responded to. So I unlock my phone again with the objective of responding to my texts. But, I have a notification now. It's my calendar, alerting me of my plans to get coffee with a friend tomorrow. Oh no! I completely forgot about that! I search back into my hazy memories to recollect which cafe we agreed on. I remember and decide to check the maps on my phone.
Where is this cafe exactly? How do I get there tomorrow? Most of these commuting suggestions are unnecessarily complicated. Oh wait! I could take this subway route, it'll get me the closest to the cafe and from there it is a small walk! Perfect! When do I need to leave so that I reach on time? Subway leaves at 8.39, so I need to walk from home at 8.30. Let's leave at 8.25 just in case. So that would mean that I need to be up by 7, latest! Hmmm, cool cool.
Did we choose a good cafe, though? What are the reviews like? What do they serve? What's my budget like? What shall I get? Do I feel like splurging tomorrow? If I splurge tomorrow though, then I will have to cut myself off from any more unnecessary purchases for this month (hahaha). That seems far-fetched, let's be honest. I have the answers to all my questions in the next 10 minutes. I have an internal dialogue to make sure that I am up for this coffee tomorrow morning. Once I get an affirmative - I text my friend, asking if we were still on for coffee the next day; secretly hoping they say no. I wouldn't be mad, or offended. I'd be happy, if anything. See, I don't really like leaving my house. (yes, okay, I see the irony)
I close the applications on my phone and lock it back.
I sigh and proceed to stare outside the window of my cab. Everything is extra colorful today, because Holi, duh! I see people on their vehicles dressed in white, painted with all colors imaginable - subtly boasting the intensity of their celebrations. The streets aren't as busy as usual - I guess most people are celebrating with their family or friends. The cab was enclosed in a quietude, which was only interrupted by the ceaseless hum of the engine. "This is nice." I think to myself, "why do I always try to fill my silences with thoughts?" My newfound tranquility is punctured presently, as

Based on the comic issue 49 where Rick and Morty are stuck in a loop similar to Groundhog Day, but with Rickorty elements and a different ending this time.
After the duo suddenly landed in a hurry on a strange planet where they found the corpses of alternate versions of themselves there, Rick quickly realizes that he’s stuck in an endless loop where only he in the entire universe has the memories of the day he just spent. What seems at first to be the realization of one of his biggest dreams quickly turns into a nightmare... But maybe in a day that repeats itself eternally, there are always ways to have fun?
