DIY - Just DO IT YOURSELF

This is a trend that I don't think it will lose it's flame soon. Why ? Simple. People nowadays like to be independent. Sure you can expect, ask, hire people to do it for you, or pay for things. But do you really want to? Not anymore. 

Sometimes even if they might do a better job, pride or just people you don't wanna interact with will make you choose differently. 

So, you just, do it yourself. Sometimes it feels like asking your dog to bring you your slippers and he does, but now the are all drool-y, so there's a downside. A big downside. 

Time travel comment

I was thinking this, when seeing a post

What if all geniuses are actually just time travelers? Or maybe you can only time travel one way and none takes the people that did were labeled mad. 

Or you can time travel and see the past, but cannot be seen by others since the atoms that they are made of are somewhere else in that time line. take your pick. - I feel really strong about this one

How to not feel

People say that people that have read a 100 books, have lived a hundred lives.

I don't like reading. I always fall asleep. Maybe it's my eyes, maybe I am just that person that simply does not like to read, or I just haven't found the right book. Anyway, I find myself addicted to TV series. And I found out why. I watch them, I lose myself in them and most importantly, I do not live my life when I watch them, I live the lives of the characters I am watching. Also, I am not feeling. Not feeling all the monsters I have inside.

I choose

Everything I do, I choose.
I'm starting to believe in parallel universes. I think there can be so many outcomes from a single situation, even waking up. Everyday, turns out to be a certain way because of what we chose.

Thing is, we learn fast to choose something. What would you choose: an apple or a mango? we learn to pick the most common, most familiar choice. This is also the "safer" choice. That is tthe first thing anyone would choose within a split of a second. We call these habits.

Now, let's suppose that we are trying to change some habits. I usually drink tea in the morning. If I don't drink my tea, my morning is simply incomplete, and I feel it as so. That's why you don't want to eliminate a habit, you want to change it. It is easier to tell myself, well, no more coffee, I'll drink tea. No more tea, I'll drink a lemonade. No more lemonade, I'll drink water.

I choose...
I choose to do. Stuff. All kind of stuff. Like going out, having fun, living the moment. Like actually acknowledging the moment. I am in a pub. Surrounded by people. I smell smoke. I am hearing 3 close-by conversations and many others far away. Well, not that far. And music. Good music. All this sounds a bit overwhelming since I haven't been out in...OMG it's sooo long I can't even remember. It's a few months for sure. The Long Island Ice Tea tastes great. The hot chocolate is awesome. And my friends is giving me time to write this. And enjoy it. I choose to enjoy it. My life is far from perfect. Very, very, very far. Hence the Long Island Ice Tea drink. But, I choose to enjoy it.

Money

Thinking back on my 18th birthday party (it's a big thing in my country) and my ex boyfriend's and my brother's, I did not create nice memories for myself. I always thought "my parents aren't doing so well, so why make more problems". So, for me, that birthday... Don't really remember much. I remember more of their parties. Maybe because they actually had parties.

Spending...
Money...
I should spend money on memories. Good memories. Nice memories. Memorable memories.

Challenge Everything. Challenge Everything? Challenge Everything!

Lately I find myself challenging everything. Doubting everything. Every piece of information that comes to my attention. Also I stopped doubting myself.

Five seconds ago I was wondering why. The answer just came to me: because it is an information a person wrote, filtered through their understanding of life, through their knowledge. And nonetheless it has not failed me. So much of the information I have found was wrong. And still is. And so many of the articles I have read were nothing more than just opinions. Just like this is my opinion.

More than just an opinion, this is an invitation. An invitation to don't just absorb information, but to challenge it and verify it's truthness.

I create

So, before year ended I made myself a list with all the things I know to be good for you if you do them on a daily basis. For example, eat 51% raw food, or meditate for a half hour, or do something creative that you enjoy - no pressure.

So the second day of yoga camp that this girl Adriene  is doing is called "I create". Just recently, I started creating stuff, like Christmas decorations, for 2 different rooms and a window, and I figured, I like doing it. I was so refreshing.

Another thing on my list is this blog. Writing about anything and everything that's going through my mind is quite refreshing and might I say, actually therapeutic.

[While I was thinking about what to write next, I see in the right bottom corner of this window, where I am typing this small box "Complain to Google".

Now, I find this extra funny. Because, I can complain about so many things...
My cat is scared of travelling by car, I can't find a proper job, I'm fat, I love food too much - dammit - I'm having a cold, my throat hurts, my nose is running, etc... but I don't think that is the intention]

 

Writing, creating, learning.
I am learning, for example, thanks to auto-correct that I've learnt a "typo" : I always write with a double "t" the word "writing", which is incorrect.
So, by creating, by writing, I am slowly becoming a better person. At least at spelling in English.  :)

Create away, whatever makes you feel good. :*
