Life is a
wonderful thing, once you learn the art of breathing. Let's face it, we are too
wrapped up in ourselves to really sit down and think about what a gift we have
been given. This is going to be a bullet list of what makes life worth it,
according to me-your friendly neighbourhood blogger
1. Life is about music and not noise.
Imagine yourself sitting silently with your earphones plugged in, letting Frank
Sinatra croon to you gently, as you remember the first time your father put on
Send in the Clowns and told you you'd love it.
2. Life is about seeing someone crying
and reaching out to them to help
3. Life is about meeting a complete
stranger on a metro ride back from a long day at work, only to find upon
breaking the ice that the stranger shares your interest in photography. It is
about adding a new face to your Instagram
4. Life is about staying up all night
just to see the world become gradually bathed in sunlight
5. Life is about meeting family members
you never knew existed and bonding with them immediately
6. Life is about going to a cafe hidden
in an alley and sitting there sipping lemonade while overhead tiny bulbs come
on and you see friendly faces everywhere sitting and laughing. After a while,
it gets on to be evening and the cafe is bathed in the glow of the bulbs and
the air is reverberating with laughter.
7. Life is about learning something new
and doing it yourself without anyone to help you.
8. Life is about sitting in a room with
new faces all around you, chanting from a book together as one and hearing the
echo of the chant bounce off the four walls that confine you
9. Life is about reading nooks, where
you sit at a table with coffee stains all over it, reading a dog eared
paperback for the fiftieth time
10.
Life
is about discovering your passion and staying true to it despite hurdles.
Problems are milestones showing you that you are doing the thing right.
11.
Life
is about taking the car out at night and driving to your favorite ice cream
place just because you want to
12.
Life
is about travelling to a new place, that you have never been to and sitting
with the locals, hearing their stories
13.
Life
is about visiting your family's temple and feeling your ancestors watching over
you
14.
Life
is about keeping an open mind and trying something new, something that you
never thought you would do
15.
Last
but not least, life is about loving yourself and all your imperfections.
Nobody's getting out of here alive so you should never apologize for who you
are. Be aware of your flaws and strive to be better than you were yesterday
The Bilge Master
