The little things...
I'm not quite sure if it is because I live in one of the most fast paced countries in the world or maybe it's just life in general, but life seems to pass by like clock work. Wake up, eat, poop, sleep and repeat. Alright, maybe there's your everyday regular shit as well in between like...oh yeah work, pick up the kids, drop off the kids, go to school etc etc.. All in all a repetitive task of stuff that we keep doing everyday.
If you don't do any of that, are you even living? Or should I ask, if you are doing that, are you even living?!
I am blessed to be able to design my life and schedule as it suits me, for the most part, I owe this to my stubbornness...if you are in the same boat, congratulations you are one of the lucky ones. Just FYI it wasn't easy getting here. Even so, I get caught in everyday routine life easily, I am ALWAYS BUSY! However, when I fall off the wagon, or burn out, is when I start questioning, what am I even doing or as I ask myself frequently
"What is life?".
It's in those times, however, that I realize how blessed I am, and I'm talking what some might not even consider a blessing (first world shit if you don't). Food on the table, a roof over my head, a blanket to keep me warm at night, the ability to WALK, you might even call it, the little things. Although, truth be told, sometimes the little
things can be the biggest things.
I find myself questioning a lot our existence. We are a race living in a ball in a galaxy neighbored with, is it billions, of other galaxies in a universe that never ends. So the guy you like, likes someone else, and now you feel like it's the end of the world, who cares Jessica!? He's probably a jackass anyway! How small do your problems seem when you zoom out of your own existence and realize you are but a tiny spec of dust. Anyways, enough of that. Since there is no definite answer to the why we are here or what truly is the purpose, then what's the point? Ughhhhh I hate that daunting question. I mean hey, maybe you already have an answer for yourself, likeeee I don't know you live to blah blah blah and that will be it and enough for you and you will die in peace looking back, there's no wrong or right answer. So, I obviously don't have the right answer, but what always gets me by is thinking and appreciating life. Just the little things that make it bliss. About a month ago, I found
myself with a sweet addiction. Almost, every night for about a week, I would grab the jar of Nutella and spread it all around a cup which I would then prepare chocolate milk in. So, I would do this about an hour or two before going to bed, when everyone else was already sleeping. The silence of the night and task itself was like the cherry on top of a sunday. After I would finish preparing it, I would go to my bedroom, bundle up in my best purchase ever, my cloud duvet, hit play on my tv and enjoy the shit out of that cup of hazelnut chocolate milk! Ahhh the little things...
So, your "little things" I'm sure are different from mine, but the next time you feel like life is crap or an endless routine of tasks, sit down, take a deep breath and try to appreciate your blessings, but really take a look! True, you might "think" someone has it
better than you, but also true you have it better than someone else. However, what do I know, you may be a narcissist who thinks life is bitching the way it is and has never had any "outdoor" thoughts to the world or existence around you, either way thanks for reading. Bye.
-Pow!
