I’m Glad I’m not a Goldfish12/30/2017 Happy Saturday! My apologies for the post being super late today, but as the typical saying goes, better late than never!
I hope you all had a wonderful week. Today has been a crazy day, but still wonderful. I think I’m officially a Tea drinker. I’ve always liked sweet iced tea, but hot tea hasn’t ever been my thing. However, lately I’ve been wanting to try it out so I went to the store and bought some Jasmine-Green tea. I absolutely love it! It’s calming and comforting for some reason. If you have any hot teas that you enjoy, let me know by leaving a comment! When I was at Wal-Mary buying my tea, I noticed a girl who had very colorful hair. I just admired the confidence it must take to do something so bold. I’ve wanted to color my hair cobalt blue for some time now, but I’m a little apprehensive because my hair is basically my pride and joy, but how fun would it be to have blue hair?! I also noticed many people of all different ages and skin colors. This isn’t my first time having these thoughts, just my first time expressing these thoughts in writing, but I just am amazed at how cool the human race is! We are all so different, physically and mentally. We each have lives and families and different opinions on many things. Why aren’t we all the same? Why do we all have different physical appearances, styles, opinions, traditions and beliefs? Because if we didn’t, LIFE WOULD BE BORING. People watching is one of the most interesting things because you see the pure innocence of people and they don’t even know. Go to a coffee shop and just sit down and watch all the people that come in and out, hustling about their daily routine and disappearing like they were never there in the beginning. Back to their lives, their families, their jobs, out of your presence, never to be seen by you again. Thats the beauty of it. The fact that we don’t know everyone. That we have the opportunity to meet new people and see these strangers each day. We all have unique struggles that only those close to us may know about, some we keep locked up inside of us, never to be seen by the light of day or the ears of another. Theres these song lyrics by Bring Me The Horizon that go “We all carry these things inside that no one else can see, they hold us down like anchors, and drown us out at sea.” I feel like many people can relate to this. Pain is an inevitable part of life and for some reason, we as humans feel as if we cant express our sorrow outwardly, so we hold it all inside until it becomes unhealthy. (Guilty) However, we all experience joy at some point as well because the sun can’t shine without a little rain. The human race just amazes me because of the small innocent moments like when a couple is walking down the street holding hands, or when a child picking wildflowers hands a bunch to his mother just because he loves her and was thinking of her while he played. Or when an old couple smiles at each other like they are the only two people they need on the planet, like their love is what they depend on regardless of the years and trials and things they’ve been through. When a woman is just humming along as she walks to her car after buying groceries, on her way to cook dinner for her family. The little moments are what I live for. The little moments I get to witness as I look at other people living their lives, getting so caught up in the moment that they don’t even care who is watching. The most beautiful moments happen when we are just being carefree. Completely pure and raw, like honey. No matter how self aware we are around other people, if you pay attention, you’ll notice the brief moments that happen when someone gets so caught up in living that they are nothing but truly themselves. When I catch people in a moment like that it makes me want to just sit down and talk to them. Not just small talk. I can’t stand small talk. I just want to talk to people I don’t even know and ask them everything about themselves. Their favorite movies, songs, books, the hard things they’ve been through, the loved ones they’ve lost, how they got all their scars and where they want to be 20 years from now. I want to swim inside the thoughts of each person I meet until I drown in a sea of their life story. People leave me in awe, so intricate and detailed, unlike simple animals. I’m so glad I’m not a goldfish. With love,
