You know, two months is quite a fair amount of time. It's also a short amount of time.
You hear people say, "Oh man, don't worry I got two months left to get the money"
but then by changing that a little bit and saying "Oh man, I got two months left to get the money".
Same sentence but taking out two words changes the whole meaning.
Two months is quite a fair amount of time. It's also a short amount of time.
Two words has quite a fair amount of meaning. Two words has also got not so much meaning.
It's been two months since I last wrote anything.
I can tell you now, that it has gone so quick. Until only recently I thought I had only missed the month of August, and that I had the whole of September to make up for it. But for some reason it's already October.
The concept of time seems to play tricks on everyone, maybe on certain people.
Allot has happened in the last two months. I'm sure it has for you all too.
I've seen so many things, I've heard so many things & I've even done so many things.
Even when you think you haven't done much, stop and think again. Even if it just involves you sitting around writing stuff down, playing your guitar, calling a friend on your phone or even falling asleep on your girlfriends couch when her parents needed to sit and kick back to watch the next episode of The Collectors.
I've seen many things, thought many things, heard many things...and the list goes on.
I've seen a dog jump out of a car window onto the road, I've seen a plane release a trail of smoke in the sky, I've seen a bird glide up and hover in the air and stay in that one exact spot, I've heard children shouting and yelling in a playground, I've heard new music come out of my own guitar, I've heard the sound of coins being scattered on a tabletop, I've made a change on at least one child, I've looked back at some decisions made in life and reflected on them in order to distinguish if they were the right ones, I've thought about the world beyond our own sky and who we are thinking about out there, whilst at the same time they look beyond their sky to imagine our world and whether or not our worlds will ever meet.
All in the last two months.
In saying all of that, a glimpse of what I've lived through in the last two months, I can't stop but wonder, what other people have seen over a period of two months. I want to know.
I want to know if someone else saw that bird glide up and hover in the exact same spot in the air, I want to know if someone else also heard children's' voices from across the road, I want to know if anyone else stopped to think and look beyond our own world and about someone else's world out there beyond our blue skies. We all live in the same world, what if one day, all of our minds, thoughts clashed at the same time. What if we all saw the same thing, thought the same though, heard the same music, felt the same emotion, loved the world for what it is. Not what it can be.
What if? Just think about it for a minute...
When one side of the world is dark, the other is light. Some places are ahead of time than another part of the world. When someone has lived through one day, the other side of the world is opening their eyes, and wiping the sleep out of their eyes and starting the same day someone else had just finished. Will they see the same thing as the other, will the same sort of day occur on the other side of the world?
I recently had someone tell me, that they see me as a "nice person". By that they meant a few things, because of certain things. I asked why...
The first thing she told me was that, I'm always bright, always smiling, and most of all...I always greet her and her friends as well as other people she said.
She told me her and a couple of close friends say that I am a nice guy who is always greeting everyone; even if I've never really spoken to them before, even if I've never really met them before until that moment...
I was quite shocked at the fact that they had observed and noticed all of this happening and what I do even if it was not directly associated with them.
I was moved by the fact that I had realised that some people do notice things whether you see it or not.
And not just that,
but it also got me thinking about what other people have seen and noticed...whether that be good or bad...
What does everyone else see in me, what do they think about me?
What do I want them to see? What do I want them to think about me?
Allot of people say, that they do not care about what others think of them?
But I find that hard to believe. . .
People always make assumptions and judgements of everyone each and everyday; and everyone has had people look at them, notice them and 'think' about who they are...
Everyone gets dressed each morning and almost never chooses something to wear which they want people to think negative about...Mostly everyone chooses a shirt or a dress and stops to think if it will go with everything else they are wearing. but subconsciously thinking about so if someone else saw what they were wearing, they wouldn't be embarrassed or feel uncomfortable in it.
We all do care about what other people see us as, how they see us, what they think about us, sometimes how they feel about us, and even what they are going to say to us.
So I suppose with this theory in mind; do we need to ask ourselves the same questions each morning as we get up to start the day?
Do we really need to think deeply about the things we say and do in order have others see you positively?
Should we really be wrapped up in all these questions that we may ask ourselves for a small aspect of our lives? Is it a small aspect of our lives?
Perhaps there are many other things that we should be asking ourselves each morning instead of trying to think of ways to have people see you in a certain way.
Things like greeting people and being bright, should come naturally...
Perhaps it is because of the nature of being human and to greet people that makes us all pure and full of life.
Perhaps that it is only a matter of simple pleasures in life that make everything appear so wonderful.
Perhaps. . .
It may be the life one
that helps to bring what has begun,
in order to find our way
through this life to make us stay,
for that little bit longer
to make us stronger
and have ourselves realise
the hopes and dreams that will idealize
us to make sure our life is full
and our memories that will pull
us through the hard times ahead
and the good times that's been said
and create our world with one love
and support those that have gone above,
so we can show our own beautiful attitude
to practice and share our gratitude
with the world we live in
