A Month of Lists

With a new month just around the corner I have decided to accomplish one of the tasks on my list of 101 Things to do in a 1001 Days. For the entire month of April I will be posting once a day, but due to my growing lack of a life, I have decided to create a theme. Throughout April I will only being posting lists. From a list of my favourite quotes, to a list of places I would like to travel. This means that all my "inspiring" (?) posts will be saved for following months.

Fun Fact: I love lists. I could make a living out of creating lists. No one lists on my level.

Epiphanies

One of my favourite things to do is to think about epiphanies, even the simplest ones. So, that being said, I've decided to compile a list of my favourite ones.

The person you're going to end up with is somewhere out there making memories that one day they will be sharing with you.

Most peoples first word every year is "happy".

If we had no eyes, we wouldn't be able to see colour. What if there is another aspect of life that we don't notice simply because we don't have the organ to detect it?

Light travels millions and millions of miles only to stop a few feet away from the ground because you happen to be standing in front of it, hence your shadow.

Once you have a PhD every appointment you go to becomes a doctor's appointment.

You've already visited some places for the last time.

Everyone actually has three voices: The one in your head, the one you hear when you talk, and the one everyone else hears.

In order to fall asleep, you have to pretend to be asleep.

If two people drop a piece of bread on either side of the world, earth becomes a sandwich.

I wonder if there are any times on the clock that I haven't seen.

Quality of life is how you handle life's moments, not which ones you do and don't have.

No one can make you do anything. You have complete control over yourself, others can only instigate.

You wouldn't care so much how people thought about you if you realized how seldom they did.

Pancakes are just cakes made in a pan.

Nothing is ever done. I feel like this is the best one to end the list on because much like everything else, this list will never stop growing. I will continue to have and stumble upon more and more epiphanies each and every day for the rest of my life.

Change


I don't adapt well to change. I like my schedule and I will go out of my way to stick to it. That being said I don't like when people come and go from my life. If you're in my life I expect you to stay in it for a while. In high school I had a friend who I was just acquainted with the first to years, but throughout my final two I developed a very close bond with him and decided that he was one of my two best friends. I find it hard to write about this right now as him and I haven't spoken face to face for 10 months. Sure I've called him a few times to arrange some time to hang out and try to interact electronically, yet every time it falls through. It makes me wonder if I have done something wrong, if I've hurt him in anyway. It's hard for me to even think about accepting the fact that we are no longer close friends, in fact I can't even bring myself to say "no longer friends". I don't want to say that, I'd rather cling to this friendship as long as I possibly can than accept the worst. Deep down I know that I am only leading myself to disappointment, and the longer I cling, the more it'll hurt in the end. That being said, there is a large part of me that sees this working out in the end.

So many times I have been upset or sad, and I just needed him there to vent to. He always knew how to make me feel better, and even when I didn't come to him with my problems he could tell when something was up. It causes me an inner turmoil when he's the one I'm upset with because I don't feel like I can talk about that with anyone but him. The more I write the more I think I sound like a hormonal teenage girl going through a break-up, but in a way losing a friend so close is just as hard. Even though change is inevitable, I always thought that there were somethings that would always stay the same.

Emotional Inabilities

If there is one single flaw that I would have to pick out in myself, it would be my inability to express love. It's not that I don't love nor am I a narcissist. I love very deeply, I just can't say it and hide my feelings with deep sarcasm and jokes. Now it might seem silly that all of this was brought on by a "How I Met Your Mother" episode, but when Marshall went through an entire episode of having to deal with the possible last words of his father, it brought up how I might feel if I knew that I would have gone 11 years without saying "I love you" to my parents and may never get the chance.

The last time I remember telling my one of my parents that I loved them was when I was 8. I last told my mom one morning as I was leaving for school and my dad when I was around 6 as he was putting me to bed one night. What if I never tell them again? I don't know how and I feel awkward even thinking about it. I don't hug my parents ever and I think that if something were to happen to them before I got a chance I think that would be the thing I would miss and regret the most.

I can't even show people sadness. The only thing people see is the sarcastic smart ass who's only emotional ability is to hide them. Maybe this explains my fear of commitment or maybe that's an entirely different issue on its own.

Destiny vs. Coincidence

What if one day you decided to stray from your usual routine. Hopped in your car and drove until you found a quaint coffee shop the seemed promising. What if inside that coffee shop you found your next boyfriend or girlfriend, or ran into a long lost friend from third grade. Is it destiny that lead you to your newest love or simply one of life's many coincidences? If you had continued with your daily routine and not gone out would you still have met your soul mate or would you have continued life without ever meeting them?

This year I have made it my goal to experience life more (you could say that's my New Years resolution I suppose). To get off my ass and get out there more. You can't live life to the same extent when you're at home perched behind a screen all day. You have to leave your humble aboad and hide behind a screen in public. Maybe one day you'll even decide to turn it off and interact with someone other than your roommates cat. For now you'll have to continue living your life in anticipation wondering if that'll ever happen, at least until I update you when that happens.
