Decisions

-
Music: Wild Horses - Rolling Stones

I was trying to get to sleep but I suddenly got this massive insight that I just had to record.

It's just that all the decisions we think are critical - which college to join, which company to work for, who to marry, where to live, etc - they're all completely irrelevant. They can completely change the path you take admittedly but that's not important. The really important decisions are the ones you make in every moment in your life that determine your attitude to living. They are the ones you don't even notice yourself making at the time.

Investing in a penthouse with a beautiful view of the sea is not a big decision. Deciding to go for a walk on the beach at midnight is. Sending your kid to the most expensive school is not a big decision. Deciding to stop your work for a second to answer your son's question about ghosts is. Marrying the woman from the right family and with the right looks is not a big decision. Deciding to send roses to her office for no reason at all is.

The most important moments are not the ones where you decide to think about how to maximise your entire life but those those individual moments you live to the fullest.

Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life or what kinda . Well, not small, but circumscribed. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void.

Learnings.......

-
As I've matured..... I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. I've learned that it is not what you wear; it is how you take it off. I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished. I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not to pet the sweaty things. I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back. I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity. I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it. I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets. I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses.. I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think. Updates * had to dele...
