“She was like a drowning person, flailing, reaching for anything that might save her. Her life was an urgent, desperate struggle to justify her life.”
-Jonathan Safran Foer
Struggling to reach the rooftops of mountains; awaiting for each week to return closer to the top, unfortunately it's contrary. We are not getting any younger so what is it that keeps me holding back from moving on and forward? Each of the solitary moments I spend alone makes me think "what am I really doing with my life..." do I know what I want, merely it's a game I play against myself. These tasks I'd like to partake in to accomplish my hopes, dreams and aspirations. Leads me to my next question. Living up to others expectations in life. Could be your parents, friends, religion, financial stability, and so much more worries, nevertheless. By all means if money makes you happy and its the only way you can remain sane, or to be constantly fake like if you even own an ounce of bliss. GO FOR IT THEN! Materialistic things can't be logical, and it's not even necessary. Finding myself in particular situations when money seems tight and when it becomes "needs" more than "wants". Growing up poor and now pushing myself to create my own income, enough to take care of myself. New phones and technology bull stays irrelevant to me. I'd prefer to be by a beach writing my heart out any day. Living in a small comfortable cottage sounds like luxury to me. There is no need for me to prove anything to anyone, because I'm content. Remember a "optimistic attitude is like beneficial karma. You could never go wrong. It feels really good to give and help when I'm in the position too of course. Sometimes i just cant help myself. Yes, money may be a lifetime concern, but when you learn to live content with little; Is when you genuinely appreciate and become wise. And you start to notice the things that are actually important, not things insignificant.
Ohhh boy... Religion. First off; It destroys relationships if different, turns you into some form of a puppet, Drives people completely insane, and i believe its a manipulative conspiracy. Don't get me wrong.. I believe in Jesus Christ and all the bible teachings and i was raised in it. but... Churches (for example) They use the son of god to make money, sell merchandise to profit on what he has done instead of doing as he did and share his teachings free. Healed the sick, spoke optimistic messages that would encourage others to do the same. For what? No price at all for us, for him... death. He of course went through severe pain to die for us, to him he has all to gain. Us as his people. So why does religion have to bring such a ridiculous twist to it? Why are there churches? You might say "social gatherings". Ha, My apologies. Have you heard of homes? Parks? Modern coffee shops? Laugh out Loud! Encourage to be encouraged. What would Jesus do?
