Random Thoughts #30
So hey there. This is the 30th random thoughts. I think that’s strange first of all, but that’s not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about clarity.
Today was a very shit day. A very very shit day. I had a panic attack right before I took my statistics final which probably means I did shit on my statistics final. I felt very lonely. I felt very confused. I panicked because I realized this is the last week of high school ever. Like what the hell am I going to do now? I know that the answer to this is go to college in the fall, get another diploma, get a job, and then a house and a family and blah blah blah. But WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? I can’t see past today. My brain wanted to explode when trying to comprehend the fact that this is it. No more high school. As much as I hated high school, it was my sanctuary to get away from my family and shit life at home. It was a place that I could see my friends and try new activities. But now that’s all over on Friday. Just like that.
Then on top of that, they put my school in a shelter in place. Except it wasn’t a fucking drill! Like what??? Granite, the situation was not that serious, but I was so concerned because we had no idea what was happening. Apparently a woman was being tailgated and got out of the car to confront the person and he pulled a gun on her and the police then got involved. What is wrong with the world?
So after this fun, eventful day I decided that I have some taking care of myself to do. This is where the clarity part comes in. I sat on my deck for a bit and began to meditate. Usually, I’m pretty okay with the practice, but there was so much going on around me that I couldn’t do more than 10 mins. So I got up and started walking. I just walked. I ended up going to the top of this giant hill where there’s all this debris because they’re going to build houses there soon. I stood at the top of this hill and I could see the whole forest line and the sun setting and it was beautiful.. and so.. big. I realized that this is only a tiny fraction of the world around me. My problems are so much smaller than the world. I am small. I am so minuscule in this life and that is beautiful.
I still have no idea what I’m doing, but I had a moment of clarity where I realized that it’s okay.
