We all go through different seasons. There are the seasons that test your willingness to fight and stand the fight and come out of it as a winner, then there are other seasons that reward you with all the goodness in the world. We are brought to this life with a story that we know nothing about, because no one ever chooses their destiny or which life they are born to, and there are times when you feel like the bad times keep repeating while the number of the good days are limited, and you are always living in surviving mode, and whenever life gives you a chocolate cake, you become so susceptible that you start waiting for the fucked-up price you have to pay for it; you become so used to that life will never give you happy moments without coming back to fuck you over, right?
Life is not just the happy or sad moments, life is also about the boring days, when you think nothing is happening in your life, it’s about the those moments of the day when you find yourself doing nothing and life seems like very much stuck, those are the moment I learn to love and cherish the most, those are the days when you get to enjoy a cup of coffee with someone you care about, to catch-up about what’s happening in life, enjoy a movie or a book, but most importantly to set with someone you love or someone who understands you it could be you parents, friends, or husband or wife, and partner someone you get to talk to and feeling understood, you don’t even bother looking at the time or your phone, those are the moments you miss the most when your life turns upside down and when life is throwing all kind of shit at you and you feel like nothing in this world that could light up your days, that is the moment when you start craving the boring days, the days you were healthy and you have your loved ones healthy and smiling, the art of enjoying your boring days is something we take for granted.
Just look around you and you’ll find that those days are the most rewarding days, having peace of mind and nothing to do, and nowhere to go, believe me it’s a blessing, happy days are good yes who doesn’t want to be happy, that’s ridiculous to say that happy days are overrated, and I’m happy for you if you have more happy days and less painful days, but remember that when you’re home and the whole world is busy and you have quite days and nothing is going on in your life, that’s someone’s dream, you get to take a deep breath and make yourself your favorite drink, light up a candle, or start watching your favorite show or movie, pop some popcorn and let your home smell like a movie theatre, clean your space, take a bath, leave your phone in a different room, and forget yourself in something so random, put some music and apply that mask and eat that pasta or pizza a party for one, or a dinner with someone you care about, or you can start watching football “soccer”, or basketball or whatever your favorite sport and scream at the top of your lungs and enjoy it for real.
The goal is always about having peace of mind, everyone is working so hard to have that feeling at the end of the day, we all are hustling to have financial freedom and the ability to go to bed with peace of mind, it’s the one thing that was, will and always be the main goal, and the one thing that I learned that without having peace of mind in your “nothing is happening kinda day” it means you’re doing something wrong, whether your burning yourself up with work or you still didn’t find what’s your real purpose in life, and it’s taking out peace of mind from your days.
There is a Hebrew song by the Israeli artist that says, “our life is like a strawberry” then it says “ but life is not always like a Ferrero Rocher” and that’s what I always remember when I feel like my life is stuck and boring I remember the song, because there are days when I’m going through a lot and I remember one boring Sunday afternoon when I didn’t have anything to do, that’s when I wish I can have that cup of coffee with my Dad while watching black and white movies and talking about life, and laughing while remembering something funny, and just enjoy that peaceful afternoon, no worries no overthinking and no anxiety.
“Que sera, sera” means “whatever will be, will be.”
