Closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

Lila was sitting alone near the window.
Looking out at people moving on the road
She was feeling lonely
She was trying to think of ways that would keep her busy.
She was engrossed in thoughts and that made her sadder.
She couldn’t think of a single cause to live.
She felt that all the people on road have some destination
This thought brought her closer to the previous thought
Thought of being meaningless, aimless directionless and hopeless in life
She felt her non existence will hardly make any difference to anyone.
She turned on music to overcome this feeling.
Still she could not recover
She called up as many people she could from her phone
Replayed music
Redid cleaning
Redialed the numbers
Reread newspapers
Now when there was nothing much to do
She retired back to window.
Same scene, same feeling, same holding back the thought.She jumped on to bed
Closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

'It is a wonderful life' is a favourite Christmas movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_a_Wonderful_Life
It is heartwarming, provides a counterweight to the blog. Cheers!
