Deep thoughts when I should be working...
I finally went to church today for the first time in weeks, and I'm really glad I went. I've always liked clearing my head at mass because it makes me think that all the things I am constantly stressing about aren't that significant in the realm of life. It gets my mind frame in the simple way life should be.
It seems most kids whether high school or college don't think a lot about those simple things. I do. I want those simple things. A lot of people in this world need to focus more on those simple things in life. Things like the family sitting down for dinner together, baking a pie with your grandma, going to the coffee shop with your best girlfriends to just talk, waking up to the love of your life every morning to sip coffee on the porch and read the newspaper with, playing with your kids at the park, getting your daughter ready for her first school dance, watching your son hit his first home run, having Thanksgiving dinner with your entire family, and watching the kids' faces light up on Christmas morning just to name a few.
Over the years, I've found that I have taken a lot of these kinds of things for granted. Now, I kind of regret it, but I am working on improving that. Honestly, only 2 things have been strong enough to withstand anything I have been through in this life. My Christian faith and my family. And now, I know I have a few friends who have been through quite a lot with me that I could pretty much trust will be there through thick and thin over the years. And I know this sounds cliche but then again things are considered cliche due to the fact that so many people know they are matter of factly true. But, those 3 things are the most important blessings in life. People are constantly trying to find happiness elsewhere, trying to make all the millions of dollars and buying up the world, owning all the designer things, moving away to try and find themselves (like myself). Yet I have recently found after just a few months that I am happiest when I am surrounded by the people who care about me the most and likewise I care about them...that is my family.
Sometimes I feel like I am acting older than my age because I shouldn't be so focused on that right now...that's something to discover later on. But I can't help what I think and feel. Seriously, if I put this much effort into homework as I do thinking about all these "life" things, I would have freakin A+ across the board. But I like doing this kind of thinking...maybe I do need to go into psychology and be a life counselor. Nah, Hospitality is fun. But maybe later on. I hopefully have a lot of life ahead of me to live. I just need to concentrate on living in it and not in the future as much.
Ok time to work. "But there's gotta be something more, gotta be more than this."
Nay
