little things.

-

As days pass by, you can't help but feel helpless, as life keeps giving you more reasons to feel stress, worry, or uneasiness. The word `routine` seems to fit in this situation and just hearing it makes you feel tense, as you have to deal with the same tasks, over and over, and over again. It's difficult, it's hard; but, do you take a moment to comprehend the simple, yet beautiful things?

The slight crunch, beneath your combat boots, of the copper, autumn leaves? 

The slight shot of electricity, when holding hands with someone you love? 

The slight feeling of overwhelm, the good kind, when surrounded by people close to you?

The short breaths you take, second by second, when running a mile, two, or even three, trying to reach deeper and further through your aspirations?

The slight feeling of relief, when knowing you passed that one exam you worked your ass off for?

The euphoric sensation running through your veins, from head to toe, when standing on the top of the mountain, blue skies over your head and evergreen trees by your side?

And just so much more, this page wouldn't be enough to fill in. 

All we can do, is to try to acknowledge these little things more, whether we are at our worst, or at our best, and accept the fact that, at times, it's the simple things which make us feel fulfilled in life.

Bojack Horseman - The View from Halfway Down, by Alison Tafel

-

"The weak breeze whispers nothing, the water screams sublime, his feet shift, teeter-totter, deep breath, stand back, it's time. Toes untouch the overpass; soon, he's water-bound eyes locked shut, but peek to see the view from halfway down. A little wind, a summer sun, a river rich and regal, a flood of fond endorphins brings a calm that knows no equal. You're flying now You see things much more clear than from the ground. It's all okay, or it would be were you not, now, halfway down. Thrash to break from gravity what now could slow the drop All I'd give for toes to touch the safety back at top. But this it, the deed is done, silence drowns the sound. Before I leaped, I should have seen the view from halfway down. I really should've thought about the view from halfway down. I wish I could've known about the view from halfway down." 'Oh, Bojack, no. There is no other side; this is it.'

 today i hope you look at yourself in the mirror and smile i hope you take a good, long look at yourself and not just to fix your lipstick or to fix that rebel strand of hair which always seems to find its way over your pretty eyes. no, i hope you spend some time to reflect on the person standing right in front of you eagerly waiting to be acknowledged loved cared for appreciated. that person is eagerly waiting for a simple 'you are beautiful.' 'you are enough.' because sometimes,  we forget that us, too need a little love from our very own selves.

este o oră târzie și gânduri m-apasă  pe piept, puternic și n-am cum să scap. sunt atâtea lucruri pe care le simt, le trăiesc, însă prea puține moduri prin care să le exprim. parcă nici textul ăsta nu-și mai are rostul când nu este suficient de clar, de lucid, de fluid ci mai degrabă o adunătură de cuvinte care, împreună, încearcă să mă ajute să înțeleg. dar, în zadar.  nu. nu vorbesc foarte a.curat, cred că este dez.ordine în sufletul meu și prea puțină ordine printre gânduri și citesc din ce în ce mai greu printre rânduri. gândurile apasă mai tare acum și îmi este greu să mă opun. bottle up sau let it out? chiar nu mai știu. ambele-s cu 2 tăișuri un drum ce se bifurcă și nu știi ce cale să apuci de teamă să nu te întorci schimbat,  judecat. ignorat. neascultat.
