I thought about this one for a while. I was at work and I wrote down a series of random words, sayings and philosophies. I thought they'd be good topics. So here is a very disorganized and unstructured blog about the most important things I know and have learnt.
Do what YOU want to do.
Son: I want to fly a kite.
Father: Don't be silly, you'll lose the kite. The wing is much too strong!
Son: I will fly my kite and magical it will be!
The son flies his kite for hours, then loses it in the winds.
Father: I told you, silly boy.
Son: I've never had more fun flying my kite, all good things come to an end.
This kid, however fictional and made up to create a point, is a smart kid. He takes a risk with his kite. He knows, full well, that he may lose his kite. Regardless, he flies it and god damn it does he have a good time! He takes a risk and it pays off, for a while. Then it flops. He does the smart thing and looks on the bright side. Remembers the wicked time he had and knows that all good things come to and end and to treasure the memory. I really hope you're understanding the message in this because otherwise I might come across as a bit odd.
Beginnings + Endings.
Everything has a beginning and an ending. You may not agree that it's a good saying but it is truthful, 'All good things come to an end'. And not just good things, everything really. Everything ends, everything dies at some stage. As much as it sucks to thing about it, it shouldn't make you sad. It should empower and motivate you. People die, it is the impossible fact. Every second of every minute, every minute of every hour, every hour of every day, every day of every week you spend with them should be amazing. You should spend the time however you wish, but making sure not to waste a second of it. It really doesn't hit you, until you experience a death and it smacks you right in the face. On the day of my formal, when we were allowed to go home early, I went with another mate, to the funeral of a two year old boy. Nothing I have ever seen in my life, has stuck with me for so long and been such a constant reminder of how precious life is.
Happiness.
Is the best feeling. It should be felt, by everyone, everyday. There is time for sadness, granted, but happiness should never leave you. It's a sort of background emotion. It's covered by other emotions, but somehow it's always there. There are so many things in life that knock you down, piss you off, annoy you but you have to be as strong as you can be. Forget them, in the past. Gone, over it, done. You have no reason to be unhappy. You're alive, you're gorgeous and you're amazing. Smile dammit.
Simple Pleasures.
Life is so strange sometimes. The weirdest little things can sometimes make you the happiest. Treasure those things. People find happiness in so many different things, going for a run, eating food, playing Mario kart, WHATEVER. It really doesn't matter. It's your thing and if it makes you happy and you enjoy it then go for it.
Character.
I saw this on a friends facebook. I like it, a lot.
"The best thing about a picture
Is that it never changes
Even when the people in it do"
Everything you do defines who you are as a person and defines your character. Remember that.
Judgment.
It's such an obscure subject. We really shouldn't judge, but we can't help it. It's human nature. I suppose if anything, we should try to judge fairly. Take into account our own faults and failures before we judge others. Such a hard thing to do, so let's try and avoid it yeh?
Life, is far too short, Live like there is no tomorrow.
Time flies. Things happen before you know it. Things change like crazy. Life every moment, every second, everything fucking chance you get. Don't waste it. Don't be a fool. Someone's throwing you a line, take it.
The grass is greener.
Apparently, the grass is greener on the other side. Go figure? Stuff going to the otherside, I'm going to work my ass off and I'm going to make this place into glowing green pastures somehow.
Life, is whatever you make it out to be.
LIFE.
IS.
YOURS.
You have the power to do whatever you want.
You can be amazing if you try! No, you already are amazing.
You are wicked.
You are the best.
You are a champion.
You live here.
You live now.
You live today.
Go and live life, to the full.
No regrets, no looking back.
GO.
