Now is good
When you come to a certain age and give yourself a review of the previous seven days, it seems like you have been subscribed on a YouTube channel on which you've come across on a video called ’Tips on how to get stuck in a routine’.
Wake up without an alarm around 7 am. Train for about 90 minutes. Shower. Buy yourself food you enjoy eating because a quote on your screensaver says that all happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast. Go to work. Try not to stress too much so you don't spoil the good mood you’ve been in throughout the day. Go home and make yourself lunch. Do some housework. Meet with friends, go grocery shopping or watch a movie. Go home. Spend at least an hour on Instagram. Do the night-time routine you’ve seen from Zoella’s newest post and finally fall asleep in a perfectly made bed.
That my friend means that you got so stuck that on July 31st, 2028. when you do a revision of the previous 10 years the answer to ’What have you been doing?’ will be the same as today.
A person with a full-time job has responsibilities. Having responsibilities is the fact of having a duty to deal with something. You have to be accountable for what you do. That means that if you work tomorrow at 8 am you have to be in bed by 10 pm if you don't want to be tired the next day. Translated- you can't stay up late or go out, you have to spend the free time you have on thinking about tomorrow's schedule meaning you are locked in an adult lifestyle cage.
What profession really keeps you out of a routine? Is it possible to work eight hours a day and still try new things, travel and get out of a comfort zone once in while?
The adventurous lifestyle that I see while scrolling the news feed on Instagram, photos from exotic trips and vacations taken by influencers made me realize that they are practically the only ones that make money by actually enjoying life and sharing future memories for the world to see.
How could it be possible? People who spent 5 years studying so they can get a job they love, now get sick from the thought of going to work tomorrow and people who didn't even go to college now get paid two times more for spending 15 minutes on editing their photo, thinking of the description and posting it online. That's the consequence of overusing the internet and people like me who can't predict the slightest bit of their future life.
Living the moment is something that not everybody can do especially if their days are the same all the time. But my problem is stated exactly in the part of living the moment. ~Now is good~ and so are moments. Our life is a series of moments. Each one a journey to the end. All gathering toward this one. The one moment you have to stop doing whatever you were doing and think ahead. The moment when while choosing your future college you have to think if that profession provides you an opportunity to get a job as well as the diploma.
Saying what I don't want in life is hard enough for me. Thinking of what I want to do eats me alive. I am capable of a lot of things but making decisions that are defining the upcoming thirty years of my life is probably the only thinking in my head that I don't have a conclusion on.
At least for now.
On the other side, getting out of a comfort zone is easier than we think. It is just the matter of organization and people around you. There is a lot of things you can do in eight hours and people you hang out with don’t need to be pushy. They just have to have a good will in experiencing new things. And what you can do is to set up an alarm and ask for an afternoon shift at work. Get in a car and drive to a place you haven't been in yet that isn’t even as far away as you thought it was. Have a good day outside the street you live in.
That is what I want, that is what I’m aware of and what I always wanted. To show everyone around me who think that they don’t have enough time or money to make their day a bit more interesting. It’s just that we all including me, got influenced by others who didn’t get locked in a so-called adult cage by accident but actually got themselves locked and threw the key away. Made ourselves think that bloggers and YouTubers are the only ones that get to enjoy life without any hard work. Not true.
Start with getting your lazy butt off the couch. Because you don’t need to have 8 million subscribers to travel and save your future memories for your kids to see. Who will influence them better than you, who will teach them that you can have a full-time job and still not end up being a moody, stressed and frustrated adult if you won't?
I'm not saying that you'll change the complete human state of mind, but you'll enjoy yourself more and maybe make a good impact on your family and friends.
Who knows?
With love, MO.
