carpe diem
I think I just need to know what works best for me.
Like lists. I like making lists. And after I make them, I feel compelled to do something about them. Which is a great way to get my ass moving, FINALLY. Like today. Today was pretty great.
I've had enough living day to day and moping and generally being a bum. It's like living with your eyes closed and complaining that you're blind. I'm not sure what I was trying to prove with that analogy but I like it and it stays.
So I set my alarm for this morning. Which I snoozed. For about an hour. Some habits are that much more difficult to smother. And I woke up. And it was pretty great. I finished what I wanted to do. I forgot how it felt like to be productive.
I walked back home from the mall again after registering the parcel. Which I realize is quite therapeutic. And I wondered how, on the countless times that I did so, I could have missed the lovely pastels on the blocks lining the road that reminded me of fruity mentos, or the gorgeous electric blue lily-esque flowers hanging off the walls along the pathway, or the fact that a 7-11 was opening soon below one of the blocks nearby. The last one was random. But I did think to myself, Really? Do we need yet another 7-11? I guess the answer was yes.
My point is, live with your eyes open and just, be.
