They say, if you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done. Quite simple, yes? No. We're creatures of habit. Just look at the way we wash our hair: rinse, lather, repeat! Fine, that's a bad example, but really we are instinctively programmed as human beings to be comfortable doing what we're DUH, comfortable doing! I know there's probably a profound amount of scientific research out there to prove my point, but I'm too lazy to look for it and quote it. Ha! There's proof right there, that I, at the very least am a creature of habit (lazy habits - if you missed that one).
Now to refute all that I just spent time saying, we as human beings need to break this ugly cycle. Yes, there is so much good that is to come of our "NEVER DONES" (cheers to some awful use of the English language-- but note it was intentional)! I'm working on breaking some bad habits. That's all that was meant by this. Of course I had to make it lengthy because that's one habit I refuse to break! ;)
So if anyone has been faced with some harsh realities in recent days .. know this, you are not alone and we will get what we want together. Let's just try a different path this time. Preferably one that has been used by none. And in conclusion, I must thank my favorite poet of all time Robert Frost for his inspiration when my bad habits came crashing down.


My habit:
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I keep thinking of you?
Is it bad that I'm lost in your writing, and I want to pick apart your brain and try to get to know you?
The short answer: Yes, it is bad.
ReplyDeleteThe long answer: Words, thoughts, and people appear more shiny from afar. I'm nothing special really.
"I want so many things that I know once I have I will find miserable. I'm afraid to admit that having a kid is a prime example of this."
ReplyDeleteThe mere thought of this sentence makes me blush, knowing that you imagine this as a pitfall rather then extraordinaire revelation. The disdained bones that structure you, is the most beautiful thing about you. No shiny things, and plus I've always liked a fixer upper ;)
The short answer: I'm well aware of your bad habits and I'm okay with them.. You are special really!
I don't mean to break your heart, but you're looking at a single grain and envisioning a pot of rice.
