Laying in bed listening to Sweet Disposition, I've been thinking about my year thus far. I've learned a lot, and also decided a lot about myself. Lately I've become fed up with how technology rules my life and I think I'm going to change that. I've also decided that money isn't everything. (maybe that's because i'm recently poor)
I've also decided that Zombieland didn't have it all wrong. You really should enjoy the little things. My parents were in town this weekend and what I noticed wasn't their newly graying hair, or weight loss, I noticed the little things. I noticed how my mom always smiles when she is remembering something funny that our conversation has brought up and how my dad always smells the same. I started to realize that these are the people that I want to be, and also the people that my parents warned me about. My mom used to tell me not to be afraid to change the world. I've always wanted to.
I've decided that I will no longer be abiding by the rules that govern modern day courting. If I want to text you, I'm going to. If I want to hang out, I'm going to tell you that. This whole "make him text you first" and "that's not allowed" stuff isn't cutting it. Technological rules will no longer tell me what to do.
I will do what I want to do, and one day, it will all work out. Everyday I will do something that scares me. Sooner or later, taking this leap off of a cliff every day will pay off. I won't fall like Wiley Coyote, I'll take off and fly. On that day my friends, I will not be silent about my excitement, I will be loud, and you will know that finally, I have won.
Life isn't hard readers. It can be, but when you break it down, most of the stuff you worry about( or at least what I worry about) isn't going to matter next week, or probably even tomorrow. So shut up and get over it. You're fine. You're chest will keep ebbing and flowing like it always has and your heart will keep jumping all around in your chest. It won't ever stop for you.
So my conclusion for this weekend, is rule #32, enjoy the little things.
