Beautifully Mundane.
I wish people knew how much I liked my life. I like being in bed by ten. I like doing nothing all day. Sometimes, I like t go out and explore, but only for an hour or two, because I have old bones and I get tired easily.
I like listening to the same song over and over again (despite people telling me I have bad taste in music). I like eating cereal for breakfast and any other time of the day. I don’t like coriander. I like the smell of rain, but hate the wet weather when I have to go out. I like the night sky.
My life is boring, you might say. And don’t try to deny it. Don’t say “That’s not what I was going to say at all!” Because people have said all those things to my face. “Live a little!” and “I wonder what you’re like drunk” are two of the most common phrases I hear people say about me.
But don’t you get it? I like the way I am. I like that I prefer to stay indoors most days. I like that I prefer coffee and a good book or TV show, than out with friends. I like that I prefer to dance around in pyjamas in my living room at one in the morning instead of dancing out in the clubs. I like that I’m an eighty year old in a twenty two year olds body.
I wish you could step back and see it through my eyes. The madness behind the simplicity of it all.
How beautifully mundane my life is.
