My life is sincerely wonderful. I can't begin to try to express that. And, the weirdest thing right now is that even though some extremely unwonderful things have happened in the past few weeks are not bringing me down, and I've been really happy. Like, I've actually gotten kind of mad at my emotions because, as tears are rolling down my face, and I can't help but cry about things, I'm crying and I'm so happy that I don't even know what to do with myself. My emotions are doing normal things, unlike the usual Julie emotions that are not normal at all whatsoever. I mean, but really, whose emotions ARE normal?
Anyways. Okay. What am I trying to say? This blog should probably have a point to it, otherwise this is dumb.
Okay. Okay. I guess this is what I really want to say.
I appreciate life. I'm tired of people not appreciating life. I think that there are so many things to look forward to and so many things that we can love and find joy in. I think that there are so many things that people take for granted, like the fact that even getting to wake up each day is an absolute blessing. I know it seems like I might be a little bit overly exuberant, but seriously.
If you stop and think about a) how many things require you to breathe through the night and be able to wake up in the morning. All of the blood that courses through your veins and all of the nerves and parts of your brain that fall asleep, and all the parts that remain functioning. It's amazing that your body is able to function so perfectly and beautifully in order to allow you to wake up each day. And b) The fact that God allows us to wake up each day means He has some way and some thing for us to do in that day. Like, maybe you might not feel like it, but there is SOME purpose for you in exactly today because you are awake and alive and functioning! If you're reading this, then you are alive, and you. have. purpose. Some days it is a big purpose, and some days it is a small purpose, but regardless, there is purpose there. People not appreciating life is one of my hugest problems lately. Getting to wake up is what, literally, keeps me going. I am so. tired. of people not valuing life. And it kind of wears away at me.
I just really want to be conscious and aware of the things that I am saying and the purpose that I am having each and every single day. It feels like the majority of people think about purpose and their value once it is too late, or once something awful has happened that requires them to think about it. But, what if we all appreciated life at its face value? Not for the bad potentials that might happen, but at each and every single day we lived that day to the fullest.
I mean, of course, there are boundaries and things that might hold us back. But we can't blame those for the attitude and the approach that we take to each day. It's up to us to find the sun of every moment, and up to us to see the life in each and every person's face, whether we are friends with them, or whether we are not. There is so much to be learned about how we are living, and I wish people would realize that.
It's not that I expect everyone to be happy or optimistic, or even to love life.
But, as N2N knows..you don't have to be happy to be happy you're alive.
Just consider these things next time you wake up, or as you're going through and living a new day. It kind of changes both nothing..and everything.
