it has been said, that is you look close enough, you will see things you don’t want to see. when i began this journey, life seemed normal, whatever normal is nowadays and for the most part, i would say 75% of time, i felt as though i was doing what is expected of me. i soon found out that life, isn’t always fair, struggle is a small price to pay and people, well,
They Can’t be Trusted
and story goes on . . .
if you could change anything in your life, what would it be? how would your life look or do you think that the outside world would match the inside of you? the choices we make are not control by ourself but by what the world has in store. yes, you read it right. which is a controversial story because we have all been taught that we do have choices. in fact, they also say that whatever choices we make have a profound affect on others and can shape the future outcome.
My Choices Were Simple.
do what is expected live the normal life marry have kids and work. after a while you realize this isn’t normal. in fact it is dictation by bad parenting. for centuries people are raised to believe there is a standard by which we are supposed to live by and in the end some of us realize it kills our own ability to see the truth.
life isn’t normal.
in the 1900’s we lead a simple life, consumed only with living not looking to the future because we knew if we looked to far, it would hit us right in the face. i say that because i have read some of the history books and little did people know, technology would soon take over and control our very existence. i am grateful for email and the ability to write online my stories but social media is sickening with the gossip and stupid shit, like when and what i am having for my next meal or making comments on everyone’s personal posts.
what irritates me more is that the reason people do this is for some sort of validation or attention. have we stooped that low that people need that much recognition?
that is the biggest reason for my deleting my facebook account and i now i have to say it out loud, the company i work for has teams chat, of course and some of the people are starting to treat our work chat like facebook. how unprofessional can this be and no one does anything about it even though i have expressed my feelings and concerns about this childish behaviour. I do not feel it is safe space any longer and it is to say very distracting.
honestly if i could find another place to work i would but jobs are fewer and fewer these days and let’s face it, i need to survive even if it is only $20 per hour.
at the end of the day
i am here to wake up, drink my coffee and keep my mind occupied with creating.
