Monday, February 21, 2005A minor crisis leading to major reflectionsok i'm exaggerating as usual. but when a hungry person with a throbbing headache in need of some complex carbohydrates realised that that tantalizing jar of prego tomota pasta sauce just wouldnt open, that's a crisis. looking at my plate of cooked pasta, i rationalised that they will hav to go down naked. nothing to dress them with. and i have to eat them. apparently they can help with my headache. but some immediate benefits from the little crisis is that after some wrestling and twisting attempts with the jar cap, i managed to squeeze in some exercise, getting my blood flowing and lightened the pain in my head. exasperated, i gave it one last try, with the thought of eating plain spaghetti firmly in mind. the power of thoughts. i've eaten my plate of pasta in tomato sauce and my headache is fading slightly. i'm very contented now. see, i'm not the hmg i thought i am. retail therapy isnt the only delight. i find therapy in everything. eating a fulfilling meal. fulfilling my crave for a certain obsure food. walking for miles with music in my ears. looking at the slow descent of the sun. basking in the full moonlight. standing under the warm shower. sitting on the bus watching the cars go by. walking by shelves of books. smelling fresh new books. swimming in sparkling water. cuddling under my blankets. reading a good book. endless. buying the perfect dress is just overstated. i can get the same gratification from splurging on a deliciously sexy top as from having my skin awaken by the cool crisp early morn air. i disgressed. but it serves as a little pinch to me, reminding myself to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. as i grow older, a word that already causes signs of distress and denial among my peers, it is harder to be happy as a kid. we have so much expectations, from ourselves and the society. there is always a better state to be. like yeah this is great but i'll be happier if i had that. i'm certainly guilty of that. but my growing weariness of the insatiable desires i have engendered a renewed appreciation of little details in life. i'm not hard to please. contrary to wat others think, simply said, i certainly dun give people the impression that i live ... simply. but i'm hard to please in a sense that i'm a perfectionist. i stil expect perfection in simplicity. like the temperature of water during my shower has to be just right. the sheets on my bed has to feel and smell just right. the early morn air has to hav that exact crisp quality. anything less wldnt do. but of coz being the realist, i know that perfections are nice surprises not a given in life. i know life isnt perfect in every sense. amaranthine froze in time on 1:15 PM |
it does not take much effort to see past the mundane and notice the little details in life
