The finer points in life.
What are they? I guess we all have our own definition as to what they are, or at least what they mean to US. For some it may be enjoying a nice meal with a loved one. For others it may be the ability to sleep in after a long weekend of binge drinking during the super bowl.
But for me its all the small things that we, the privileged generation, may take for granted. Staying in and talking with somebody all night long. Random acts of kindness help people smile. Knowing that you made somebody’s life a little brighter today. The small things. I yearn for these moments, A LOT. More so than I did a year ago when I was back home in Fremont. Those moments spent with loved ones were some of the brightest days in my life. But now, I lack those moments. Simply because all of my loved ones are back home. I mean I do now have some friends out here that I do truly care about, but its not the same. I want what I don’t have.
Do people even realize what they have? Are these ‘finer points’ boring to them? Because to the spectator, me, they are AMAZING!
Going to the beach with friends and just fucking around. Watching the sun set. Going to an amusement park out of whim with your best friend just because you want to check out the girls. (Yes me and Steven would buy season passes, and go before we started work at like 6.) Either way, whenever I hear stories of people watching a whole series in a day, or sun bathing on the roof tops of Brooklyn, I think to myself. Why aren’t I doing that shit. I mean I dont do much with my days. I wake up, eat, play video games, perhaps take the dog out, then continue to play video games, and then get wasted. So lately , ive been doing my best to try and make the most out of my days. Wether it be cooking 3 meals a day from scratch, or reading a book I purchased back in junior high. These minor things are what makes life worth living.
Seeing people enjoy their life, and getting rid of all of their problems is astonishing. I have friends who really live their days like its their last, and let me tell you. Those are some of the best days i’ve spent out here in NY.
Basically what im trying to say is enjoy those small things that make you happy. Spend time with those you love and with those you want to love. And live life.
