BLOG: Enjoy LIfe

One day, 50 years from now, well be sitting doing our own favorite version of nothing and we’ll flash back to this time, the time your so eagerly overlooking while you’re reading this on your phone on Facebook or Instagram looking at pictures of girls you wished you looked like, tattooed bearded men, and makeup. the moment suspended in time if only you were to just grab it and completely, whole-fully enjoy each moment as they pass. and what do i mean by enjoy it? if you thought to yourself you’re a pretty happy person, boom, just like that, you got life’s question wrong. how do you feel?
well i have good news, its pretty simple to fuck up the answer but its even easier to fix it. now to truly wholeheartedly undeniably enjoy life, here’s the secret; vow to let the simple things in life make you happy. imagine, when you’re 4 bubbles were so amusing. the excitement you felt just seeing the bubble container on the shelf as you begged and pleaded with your mom to let you play bubbles. once you had that container firmly grasped in your hand, twisting the cap to expose the glycerin liquid and plastic stick with a hole at the end, something so simple as bubbles. something to make you happy like never before that day. where did the simplicity in our happiness go? why cant we get excited off bubbles? not necessarily bubbles but something such as.
now where am i going with this; just follow me through for a sec.
I am obsessed with anything Christmas. as I’m typing this i actually still have my Christmas tree up, its January 9th, and i have no desire to dismount my gorgeous tree. so about 3 months ago i was driving home from work with 2 friends. it was Friday, we just got paid, just got off work, we had Friday night to ourselves. such a good drive, bumping music, bullshitting then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, i spotted the first Christmas lights of 2014. so what did i do? i pulled over and turned the car off. i was getting baffled looks and confused questions from my passengers, such as what the hell we were doing. well i sat there, ignoring everything and everyone else, only paying focus to this little thing that truly made me happy. i sat, stared, soaked in, totally ENJOYED seeing those lights, and to be honest they weren’t even decorated that nice, but they were the first Christmas lights of that year, so i loved them.
now to you you’re probably thinking I’m crazy. that’s ok. enjoyment isn’t one size fits all, and anyways how well do the osfa clothes really fit all? not at all.
so what makes you happy? and when you find that answer, mean it. truly know what makes you happy, what gives you the thrill of life when you do it, see it, feel it, etc. Us Americans are in such a rush, were in a life race to die. were always moving so fast, ordering too large, and artificially filling our heads and hearts with meaningless things like the new iphone 6. what does it matter you have the nicest, newest phone, when you have no real human connections to those people you so enthusiastically follow on social media. what does it matter you have a 2015 car with heated cup holders, if you don’t give someone who needs it a ride? whats the point of having all the nicest most expensive clothes when its just dressing the outside of something that is rotting and miserable.
so basis of my thesis is;
Enjoy life while you still got it. cause it wont always be here, it wont always be as perfect as it is right now and at the same time it wont always be this miserable to those of you fighting your fights. this too shall pass. nothing lasts forever, things change people change. so enjoy each moment as if it were the only one of its kind. like there’s not another moment in the world that can compare to this right now. that kiss, those eyes, those kids, their laughs, the food, the candles glowing, the busy street, the traffic, good or bad, enjoy your moments. you only have one life so please lets not waste it. we need to learn how to make our lives richer and fuller and not by filling the holes with things that cost thousands of dollars. no plasma, no game system, no shopping bag filled with new clothes, no bottle filled with pills or liquids will ever make your life fulfilled. its up to you. what moments in your life do you want to hold near, cherish, remember with all the fibers of your brain?
