Isn't it crazy how things can change from one second to the next? You go about your monotonous life on a daily basis almost like you're numb. Weekdays are like that for me. At least that's how I live. Just waiting for the weekend to arrive. But for the most part my weekdays are almost robotic. Uneventful.
It takes something someone says to change your attitude. It can be something trivial like a joke and you go from eh to lol. Or something your bitch coworker tells you that makes you want to throw the stapler at her. Then there's times you get really bad news. Shakes you up. Stops you dead on your tracks and wakes you up. After the shock, you begin thinking about all the good things you can and should enjoy in whatever time you have left on this earth.
It's a given that we only REALLY think about our lives until someone dies, or is dying, or you lost your job, or you had an accident, etc... Why is that? Everyone always says live everyday like it's your last. Should we really? Can we? I think it's kinda hard if you really think about it. Because you have to make everything you do eventful. Then how do you even enjoy a good time if that's all you have? Good times will become monotonous and then what?
Nah, don't try to live your life every day like it's your last. The Doctor says: "There's loads of boring stuff. Like Sundays and Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons. But now and then there are Saturdays." We need our monotonous life in order to enjoy the really good parts. The parts that make the best memories. Because in the end, that's all we are. A bunch of memories. We all come here, do our thing, make our mark and leave. Does it matter after we're gone? Only to those left behind I guess. And when you are enjoying your time the way you really like to enjoy it, REALLY embrace it and THAT's when you do it like it's the last time.
I received some sad news today. Worry some news. The kind of news that leaves you helpless and all you can do is wait. Something bad is going to happen and it is completely inevitable. Even though nothing can be done, one still worries and feels heavy with despair. At the same time, why just sit there? Let's do something meaningful. There's no time like now to do something memorable.
If all else fails, it's important to let your presence be known in times like this. It's the least one can do.
In the meantime, enjoy the time you have left as much as you can. Enjoy even the boring parts. Eric Draven said nothing is trivial. I think there's some truth to that.
