How good are you at compartmentalizing? (According to Thesaurus: Compartmentalization is the act of distributing things into classes or categories of the same type)
We all
compartmentalize, by default. We do it to avoid too many conflicting values,
disparate lives, mental discomfort or our reality, temporarily. We live several
lives, in compartments - like panels in a cartoon strip.
How
we start our day, who we meet and how we traveled to where we are - they are
all markers, ways we space things out. Walking into our home or the office or
the lover's pad are physical acts that change our psyche. As soon as we walk
into a conference room, for example, we change! As soon as we walk out of it,
we change again! Some, struggle to keep office affairs from personal affairs.
Some, successfully create parallel lives for 'emselves and live 'em well while
they last.
I'm at the tipping point of all my
successfully acquired parallel lives, living one moment at a time. All of this
has a shelf life, an evolution, I know. How I feel about each, changes from
time to time. But what really matters is that the Memories are etched, and they
shall remain irrespective of which of the lives they belong to.
