During these times of semester end, its easy to get frustrated and give up. It makes me wonder how much we endure in our search for happiness and life satisfaction.
Its like wearing a pair of shoes that doesn’t fit, the shoe that squeeze our toes but we sacrifice anyway because its pretty. At the same time we conspire that people who wears comfortable shoes don’t have style. We conform to this believe that suffering foot pain is natural, that we have to suck it up and we go on wearing that pair of shoes that give us blisters.
I guess in a way this is how we justify our unhappiness in our mind. We don’t say it out loud, but we think; at least I care about something, at least Im not blissfully ignorant, at least Im not content with life.
When in truth, blisters are not what life is about. We forget that actually life is better than that. It doesnt have to be filled with pain. That sometimes people wear jandals not because they are unaware of the trends but they choose to not put their selves in vulnerable positions to get hurt. Nothing wrong with that.
But then you can argue that maybe with pain you appreciate comfort more. I guess thats true too.
Am I making sense? I dont know. Just trying to be metaphorical and philosophical in the wee hours of the morning. You can interpret this any way you want. You can always look deeper or take it at face value, with this post, and ultimately with hardship in life. But if you linger too long on the pain, you will miss out on being happy is all Im saying.
So wear those stiletto once in awhile and find something youre passionate about. Dont put down others if they dont wear them as often as you. But sometimes take them off and put on your jandals and just look at the world with a glance. Take a chance. Stop taking things seriously. And be happy.
All the best for exams and presentations everyone.
