Yesterday I stayed up to listen to the Top 100 haha, California Gurls is the top CAN YOU BELIEVE IT no I can't. And then after that they played How To Save A Life and 1. I love it when radios play older songs cos you get the whole nostalgic feel and all and I loveee that song 2. I started getting the shivers.
I don't know why hmm.
Anyway today I had a realization!
So I was thinking about Sec 4 year and how everyone just enters mugger mode and all that. Then I was thinking about my friends who are very slack and idk they get through the year even though they just uh slack and spam YouTube haha. I used to think, maybe that was living? Actually enjoying yourself, doing what you want to do? --> Living your life to the fullest?
Then I realised, that no, that isn't living. We're kids, yeah, but we're still students. Maybe our living is actually making use of our education. I mean, if the world were to end tomorrow, and then we all met in heaven, and then we talked about life- I don't really know how to say this but maybe even though studying isn't the best thing in the world and it pisses the hell out of us- it's what we're meant to do? What we're
allowed to do. And everything you get out of it, especially all the co-curricular stuff haha, that's what living is.
When I stayed in NZ we lived with this cute old couple who'd turned their house's first floor into a motel, and when we left the woman said, be in the moment. We spend our lives doing things. We're human beings, not human doings!
I've heard it before but idk when I heard it then it was particularly striking in a way, because they live in this house in this pretty secluded town and their children are all in other countries and their neighbours live so far away, but they seem so... happy. I guess it's the thing about old couples being in love!!! :')
Anyway my NYR:
Do it for them.
