Today, just right now, I opened my fridge to get a bottle of water. Nestle water to be exact. I opened the bottle and started drinking. While this fluid was running through me I realized how thirsty I really was. It was mind-shattering how thirsty I became. I hadn’t felt any of that until I was fed. I sat down, kept drinking and tried to be philosophical with my liquid-y revelation. Not much came to mind, except for that dumb quote, “You don’t know what you have ‘til it’s gone.” However, in my case, i found that you don’t know what you have ‘til you have it. Well I had it, and I had a lot of it. It just made me think of how complicated I make things. My body wasn’t aware of how thirsty I was until I started drinking, and that’s that. Who cares about the rest. It’s water for sakeness sake. I spend my entire day thinking and slaving and analyzing and tearing at things that aren’t worth my time or energy. Simplicity can be nurturing. Complication is complicated. Being thoughtful is amazing, but over-analyzing has ruined some great things in my life. The two concepts may not be relevant, but it’s just something that clicked in my head. Even after this post I know I’ll still over-analyze, it’s part of my nature, but let’s try to lift the insignificant heavy thinking for times when I don’t have 345u4534 assignments due for class in 6 hours. Ding.
