this is going to be a short ramble because it just happened, i have been thinking about these for a while but today is a good thing to write about it since it just happened.
The things that make you happy are often what you least expect.
I can't believe how simple it is to be happy sometimes, and it always happens when I am most unhappy and least trying. I struggle really hard to think of the things that will make me happy .what path in life or what do I want to do in my life as time moves on. but then today while I just sat at home mulling over task things that I'm not up to, and not doing anything that I put all my mental focus on. I thought "I probably wasted another day." but then I just went outside, while it drizzling, without an umbrella, and took some of the best photos I ever took in my life. and I have never been so pleased with myself. I often never see these random moments of happiness come up, but they are probably some of the best moments we have in life. if I look back at some of my best memories they often trail after having a really crap day where everything probably feels listless. I guess the brightest days often come after the darkest nights.
The ying and the yang of emotions.
i can't remember which podcast or who said it, heard this from someone who said that" all human adjectives are just relative terms, meaning they are always in relation to another state." just my interpretation of what I heard. for example, what does happiness mean without the concept of sadness, what would being poor mean if we did not have people who are excessively rich. how you feel euphoric if you have never been sitting around bored out of your mind. what is brightness without the overwhelming darkness that encloses it. what si the feeling of the best days ever after having some really bad ones where you were almost giving up.
it's crazy how often we all want life to be smooth sailing and everything to be fine all the time. like somehow life was a video game and we were always on easy mode or had the cheat codes. Problems and negative emotions are a part of life. a quote i heard" problems in life exist, they are a feature of life, not a bug."
if you have struggles in life just remember that just around the corner are probably some of your best memories.
