Lately, I'm feeling quite down and that's why I just have to make this post about all the good things in life. Embracing the bliss of our life is surely not something easy to do, because oh we do have that troublesome perceived bliss from someone else's lives. Blame the internet. Blame Instagram. Blame that false expectation. Well when we are sad, we think, and it'd become either a very bitter night of endless cry or motivation guru blogger post. This two is about both.
I'm a good listener. And I'm so good in giving people advice to embrace whatever the life throws at them, but when it comes to mine I'm as screwed as everyone (oh, the irony). To make it worse, I'm that type of person that distant themselves whenever I was down. I don't know how or why I developed this freaking talent of I-hate-telling-people-about-my-problems thing, but an alone time is all I need to recharge myself. It gives me a chance to rethink and reminisce and I often cry after that lemons of life, but it'd often followed up by a series of understandings because at every parts that I'm damaged, there are also ones that perfectly in place and performing well.
It comes to my realization that you don't need everything to work out to be happy.
When my prayer starts with an apology because I might not be grateful enough for what I have, God knows I'd complain and complain afterwards about the life He's given. By this I acknowledge the fact that my life is not a complete miserable thing, yet for something beyond my control I'm sad. Sure, go ahead--feel bad and off because it's a completely human thing to do. But then, don't forget to count every good cup of tea you had, people that trust you and love you, beautiful wild flowers, new cloth from your favorite online-stores, someone that kills the flying cockroach for you, and basically every little thing that rewarding to you.
Maybe the bliss of life is that you can always choose to be a happy person--and I mean, as an individual. It is completely okay to have a sad-time and happy-time everywhen something significant happens in your life, but to be a sad-person and happy-person is a complete matter of choice. We love to torture ourselves with the idea of surreal perfection we kinda get with limited research on some random beautiful girls on Instagram Explore. No, nobody is perfect; but instead of focusing ourselves onto the damaged parts, why don't we start to invest those resources in the performing ones? Let go of the negativity exposure and just shower yourself with the warm positive thought. You can totally be happy even if your life is not perfect. Funny how we sometimes forbid ourselves to be happy because there are problems you need to fix in your life. Hereby I tell you the secret of blissful life: you can always, at any cost and any situation, to be happy.
It's okay, babes. It's gonna be alright.
x, Michelle
