One day life is amazing... and the next day a wall crumbles down, I guess that's just the cost of being alive... right? We all take for granted the fact that we think we going to be around this earth for a long time, until little or not so little reminders tell us otherwise.
It's like an unexpected pinch in your arm reminding you that we are here on a temporary basis, a short lease if I may. Fuck! Talk about been misinformed! It's not like the doctor give you your first lesson in life when you are born.... nope she slaps you ass instead, and that should tell you right away life is not all roses and sweet Eddie Van Halen riffs on a warm summer night.
" Just in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair.
But Gollum and the evil one crept up
and slipped away with her, her, her, her, her, yeah.
I ain't nothing I can do no
I guess I'll keep on rambling "
-the boys from Led Zeppelin
Sometimes in life, these twists and turns can fog and throw us off course... or so we think! We truly believe that we wanted that girl in Mordor, as we are influenced by our perceptions around us telling us what we should think or want when in reality we should start listening to that voice that really knows the fire within us.That saturated inner monologue we hear time and time again. This voice could haunt our minds with overthinking things like: My parents want this, my boss says it has to be this way, society tells me to drive that car or make the big bucks, and my spouse tells me to give up the dream of someday having my works exhibited at the Guggenheim museum.
and yes, If you can't paint for shit, well that's one thing, but if you can... then do it. Just enjoy it and know that maybe you will not make it to the Guggenheim, but a cool local gallery or coffee shop by the sea would still be quite rewarding. BTW! If you need a soundtrack playing in the background of your inner voice, turn up the song- I wanna go to the sun by Peter Frampton. It's pretty cool!
So right now in my life some events in combination with this fucked up pandemic and how it has affected the world has made me think more about this topic. I'm not an expert on this subject I'm blogging about by any means, but I have re-considered many of my goals and made some exciting decisions. It's time to really find the "girl" in my life and not be incarcerated by the girl from Mordor. A good start for me is to invest my energies in ways to speed up my permanent move to Spain. I love love my home there and I want to grow olives trees, work the land, simplify my life and appreciate that less is more.
