Shit Happens, Things Change, People are Funny
So this little mantra is something I have been using to soften the edges of life and its many ups and downs for some time now, and having used its wiseness more than a few times this year I thought I’d take a little time to think about it. Warning - 5am rambling ahead.
1. Shit Happens!
The age old shrug of the shoulders, keep your chin up. Things just happen. Well yes they do, good and bad. The important thing is to keep the shit in perspective. We are all just hanging out on a rock spinning in space after all! But I understand, It’s hard when bad things happen, in the world, to you, to your friends, and to your family. Where to do we start and stop caring? It can feel quite overwhelming sometimes and I don’t have a magic answer. Just care as deeply as you can, do things that make people smile, and try not to feel too sorry for yourself - Everyone else is on the same rock spinning in space trying to deal with the shit too. and remember > >
2. Things Change?
Yup, they do, all the time, nothing stays the same for long. How you handle change is the important bit... but more than that, once we embrace change and the new opportunities it brings, rocking the boat and looking for new things becomes an adventure. And everyone loves an adventure.. don’t they?
Well, not necessarily, because...
3. People are Funny...
...and when I say that I don’t mean funny like a clown, (although some are hilarious) I mean they like different things to you, and lots of them are weird, and some are quite stupid. But basically we are all the same. So be nice, be yourself, don’t expect people to understand you or expect to understand anyone else. We’re all dealing with the shit happening. (See 1.)
And so life goes on.Â
Go outside, its nice.
