Life can get tiring. I’m sure this truth is clear to most, if not all. There’s nothing mind-blowing or groundbreaking about that statement, but since I have to get my daily post done, and that’s what I have on my mind at the time, I have to write it, I can’t just ignore it. Anxiety can make life a thousand times harder as well, since you’re always in a state of constant wondering, questioning everything and everyone, digging deep into things, maybe even deeper than is necessary or healthy. Overthinking can take so much of our joy and energy, and have us living inside our own heads, a shadow of our true selves, trapped in our thoughts and unable to experience life as anything more than a spectator. Even if we do find a way to temporarily outsmart anxiety and overthinking, a way to live life in the moment and to truly enjoy it, there seems to be so little time available to us to enjoy the things we truly like, to be with the people we care for, and that fact is always there, pulsing in the back of our mind. Responsibilities take up so much of our time, to the point that it feels like we aren’t even working to live, but rather living to work. A lot of times it seems like, by the time we’ve learned a life lesson, the days of our lives during which it would have been most applicable have already passed us by. Time passes by much faster than we could ever imagine, and it just doesn’t feel like we could ever catch up. Then there’s the constant wondering ‘Why is life like this?’ Things can’t always work out for everyone, and life is like the movies, in the sense that there are winners and losers, heroes and villains. There is always drama and conflict, and there are positive and negative forces always at work. There is life and there is death, there is love and there is war. Even if everything in my life works out in the end, a part of me can’t help but feel sorry for everyone for whom things don’t work out. What does that even mean, ‘for things to work out?’ We all suffer through life’s hardships; we all watch dreams die and we all have to learn to let go of what we cherish eventually. I wish everyone could achieve their dreams, I wish everyone could live a life they enjoy, while being true to themselves and without causing harm to others or being harmed. I guess what I’m saying is that, even while there are so many great things in life, so many beautiful moments to cherish, there is also so much pain and suffering, so much horror and trauma and resentment which is living rent-free in so many people’s hearts, and it’s just floating out there in the world, casting a dark influence over everything they touch, eating away at them. Well, what can I say? Even though life is tiring and stressful, I like to think that that’s what makes it worth living, because we all fight to live, in a sense. The struggle is what makes us truly appreciate life, since we are constantly striving to preserve it.
If you have a few minutes listen to my song ‘divine dreams.’ I appreciate you!
