Ten Things


I woke up this morning with absolutely no energy. I wanted to just curl up in a ball and never move. I was cold, my room was a mess, I didn't want to deal with anything or anyone. But I had promised my roommate that I would help put up a bunch of 80's porn pictures on her wall so she could do a photo shoot with them.

And then I glanced out the window. It's a a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining and being all up in my face and saying that I should be happy and get over myself. And so I tried to change my mood. And decided that for today's post I would write a list of ten things that I enjoy. Not things that I do because other people think I should be doing them or I do because I'm with them, things that I honestly enjoy doing and think I should do more of.

  1. Reading
  2. Watching geeky tv shows (Mythbusters, Good Eats, 1000 Way to Die, etc.)
  3. Spending time alone
  4. Bubble baths
  5. Meditating
  6. Talking with people
  7. Learning things
  8. Sewing
  9. Window shopping
  10. Getting dressed up

All of these are things that I do, but I don't think I do them enough. I think it's pretty important that we find things that we enjoy and then actually do them and not spend our lives wishing that we had done more time doing the things we like instead of doing only things that are expected of us that we don't really enjoy.

And today I will leave you with a quote:
“Those who dream by day are more cognizant than those who dream only by night.”
-Edgar Allan Poe

See y'all tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have something substantial to post tomorrow. I'm thinking up all sorts of cool stuffs.
