Dear Journal,
Let me take this time to be thankful for a moment.
Thankful that I had an interview with DC Public Schools today. Hopefully that will manifest into something further. I'm just glad it's over (you know....unless I get selected to interview with a principal for a social worker position.)
I am also thankful for my friend "Quettes." Sometimes it slightly annoyed me at times when I needed her to be serious and she would process quickly and act like stuff did not matter in general and move on to fun and laughter. I thought it was being dismissive at times, but I also recognized something today with.
Quettes is like that because she does not take herself or life too seriously, and she reminds me by her presence and her personality to remember not to take myself too seriously as well too. That's probably the first key to happiness: Be serious about certain goals, but check the ego and the feelings at times.
Some people get so high off their own fumes and sense of self-importance that it amazes me. At first, I thought maybe I was being bitter and insecure when those people rubbed me the wrong way.....but how does one have such a sense of personal cockiness when in reality we're all infitessimal specks in a larger cosmos?
I mean, there's kind of a cold beauty to it and I admit to struggling with that idea myself, but in that sense it's true: You're not THAT important to believe the universe revolves around you. Though, one should think of themself as important enough for self-care and to live a life of joy and fulfillment; and laugh as much as possible along the way. But, don't get so wrapped up to believing you're the end all be all. This is a reminder to myself and I'm thinking of some other individuals I know when I say that.
Still, thank you, Quettes, for just reminding me of one of those often forgettable but important lessons. It reminds to keep marching towards the path, to shed the Ego and the Fake self and to continue finding my way towards the true soul.
Blessed (even when I don't recognize it) and grateful,
~Krynmark
