A guide to life.

Hello my fellow chaps and dames, today’s subject that i will dabble with is concerning life. We all know life, we’ve seen it in action many a time, and we’ve all seen the discrepant forms of it wherever our wayfaring bodies take us. And out of all of those lifestyles, what would the first word that pops up in your head be if someone were to ask you what word fits accordingly to you life? Whatever it may be, the fact is that weather you are or aren’t satisfied with your life, your present surrounding contribute remarkably to your answer. Too many people just wait for their life to change. This is simply a variable that does not fit in life’s equation. 

Too many times do people dread the next day, for example, Mondays. Why dread the key element to your week? Yes, it may not be the funnest thing to interrupt you weekend short it seems, by going to do something you don’t want to do, but if you don’t like doing it, why the hell do it at all? If people live their life saying,” Oh, the only reason I stay at this job, is to make ends meat.” this my friends is an example straight out of the book of Bullsh*t. Life doesn’t necessarily mean graduate, go to college, and get a desk job. Too many people are born into a world that has this idea branded into their mind. You only live ONCE! Why be miserable AT ALL? Yes, it might be very hard to go through life without these stereotypical ideas that we all live by, but have you ever thought about what the world would be like if you did what would really make you happy, all the time? And I’m not talking about material things, just the things in every day life that would really make you happy, not to mention be beneficial to others. And also life is not all about you, but you can make you all about life. 

Yes, life is like a box of chocolates, but there are two flaws with this theory. One: you can’t just expect the box of chocolates to appear on your lap!! You have to get your lazy ass up and drive to the store and get them! And 2: Yes you don’t know what your going to get in this “box of chocolates”, but you can have a well educated guess, by going to the right store and choosing the brand that best correlates to your naturalistic wellbeing! So here is a metaphor that might help you understand my view on life much more prominently, “Life is one big test that you don’t get the time to study for, and for those questions you don’t know ( the hard-to-overcome, everyday obstacles) take a second, collect your thoughts, and sharpen your pencil ( fix what you need to, to make you happy). You only live once, so enjoy that test, don’t dread it, and don’t be afraid to ask the teacher for help.
