I'm sitting in my aunt's bedroom while she's all the way across the world in Japan chewing my finger nails so short that they hurt and contemplating what the heck is the BIG deal? About everything. About nothing. What's our obsession with big things? Why do we always follow the moto "bigger is better"? Except when it comes to fat people of course. Now when that stupid idea would have been helpful to me is when theres an exception to the rule. I am that exception to that particular rule.
Sad day.
I'm just wondering, dear world of bloggers, why do we have to always pursue the "big fish" in the world and chase the "big dreams", why can't we be satisfied and contented with smaller things? Happy with stuff that may not seem important, but actually has more value than all of the big ole electronic crap we buy put together.
I prose a challenge to you guys and to myself.
Learn to be happy with what you have and take joy in the small things. A cool breeze on a hot summer day. A picnic in the park. A beautiful sunset. A particularly brillant quote. A touching word of advice from a friend.
If we learn to love what we have then I'm pretty sure that what we have will become more loveable. And we, people, will be happier.
Thats what I'm saying... I don't know why, but I'm saying it.
