Enlightening Thought #17

This post took forever to write. Why? Because I couldn't think of any new experiences that met the two unspoken blog requirements of Fail Thoughts:

1. That it is about a shittily universal experience.
2. That it is written from a somewhat humorous perspective.
   

So what does this mental block mean? Is everything in my life all peaches and cream-like? And are these peaches stuffed with happiness and joy?


(Yum, delicious!)

Or is there nothing in my life that I may laugh at? Is my life so goddamned sucky that there is no reason to crack even the slightest smile?

Is everything wonderful, or is everything terrible?

Well, to answer the (rhetorical) question, it's obviously a mix between the two. Just today, I smiled and I cried. (Oh, the wonderful hormones of a woman!) The scale may shift towards one end one day, but move towards the other at a different moment.

But that leads me to another question; which extreme is life closer to?

And to answer that question, I have no idea. However, I do know which life I would prefer, and that would be a joy-filled life where I have reason to laugh. Yes, this is unrealistic. Hopefully though, the simple act of keeping this ideal in mind will help tip the balance away from the black doom of the other.

Thus, to close this long-winded ramble, your newest enlightening thought is this:

Hope for happier days, and you will receive happier days.
