Just Another Day

We all have those days that are just another day. Where nothing much really happens, life seems to pass by unchanged. Any day could be one of those days... but any day could also be magic.



Not much happened today. I was up late again, so I slept late. Just hung around, didn't feel up to doing anything productive. And as the day turned to night and the night to midnight, I still had done nothing major. Then I watched a movie that reminded me that life isn't some type of plan or formula to follow, it is what you make of it. Anything goes.



It's not the things you wait for that end up creating your life, it's the moments you create in between. The Tuesday afternoon where you spontaneously grab drinks with friends and laugh all the way to Wednesday morning. The unexpected call you get at work when something bad happens, and having to change your plans. Laughing at yourself for slipping and falling while you try to slide across the floor in your socks. Getting lost on a road trip and finding the most charming little town. Those are the moments you remember, and those are the moments that create who you are.



Sometimes we put these expectations on ourselves of what we should and shouldn't do. We allow ourselves time for things that seem important... go here, do that, finish this. We set up a routine and if things aren’t on the list we count them out… But sometimes we need to give ourselves that time where we have a blank canvas to create something new. Where we are able to really go past the rules and definitions we've boxed ourselves into, and see ourselves more clearly, no matter what our situation. Where we take an ordinary afternoon and create moments that inspire us.



There is so such thing as a waste of time. Just another day can be the best day of your life if you take the time to see it for what it is, a bunch of hidden opportunities. And now as today is ending and I go to bed with a thank you and a smile, I remember, tomorrow's just another day.

"What if they say that you're a cloner, Naturally, I'm worried if I do it alone
Who really cares, cause it's your life, You never know, it could be great
Take a chance cause you might grow, Oh, ah, oh
