Doing Something By Doing Nothing



You know when you’re just sitting there wondering what to do with yourself? You’re not sure what you feel, you’re not sure what to do but you know that you’ve got to do something.  You stand up, you get dressed and then you hit a wall... you’re feet are stuck in place and you’re not moving anywhere. You sit back down, and you’re at square one. A few minutes go back and we’re going in for round two. You stand back up, your feet are moving forward, you’ve walked out the front door, and you’ve made it outside and now what? Maybe you go for a walk? Or maybe you get into your car... but where do you go now? No destination in mind, but here you are sitting you car, basically re-enacting what you did at square just now you’re in your car. Alright, time for round three. You start the car, you pull out of parking spot and you’re off the races (not literally).  The music is playing, the windows are down, the is sun-shining and still no destination in mind.  Stopped at red light, and all you’re thinking is, where the fuck, am I going? So, you continue driving. Then it hits you, that song that takes you back to a good old memory. Now you’re literally cruising down memory lane. You’ve got a smile on your face, and before you know it you find yourself driving home. You park your car, and it was like your whole spirit was just uplifted. Sometimes we need to take a beat. We need a moment to do nothing and something at the same time. Driving around was essentially doing nothing. But because you did it, you were able to feel a sense of happiness through the music on the radio. Now when you return home, whatever funk you were in before, is now gone. We can’t always explain or understand why we feel off. Some day’s it just happens. But are you that person who will wallow in it or will you go do something about it even if that thing you do is virtually doing nothing. You see what I mean, this world is confusing and the human mind is even more confusing. The fact that it’s possible to achieve something by doing nothing is a real yet crazy concept.

Our Minds Distort Our Mirrors

When you look in the mirror what do you see? Are you happy or do you stand there and pick yourself apart body part by body part, wishing you saw something different?  Here's the thing- in this new social media era, somehow the concept of body image has been so insanely distorted that truth be told no body really knows how THEY want their body to look. All they see is what SOCIETY thinks it should look like. Last time I checked other people didn't live your life, you do.  All these new online apps come out and the majority of the world sits on these apps scrolling through seeing how happy everyone else is, how 'in shape' they are, that being lean is the only type of sexy... and about 9 million other ridiculous concepts about what to eat, how to live, how to look etc...  When let's be real here- what you see in photos is not always how it actually is. It's an image of what they want you see about them or their life.  In my opinion there is no such thi...

The 5 Second Decision

“You will never”... how many of you have been told that, said that or worse, believed in that? Who you become; what you have, what you think and feel these are all things that are based around one capability. A capability I might add, that we all possess. This is the ability to make a decision. Not a decision for your parents, your siblings, your friends, but for YOU. It’s that simple. You see something, you go for it. You want something, you do everything you can to achieve it. You’re probably going to sit there and tell me, it’s not that simple. There are a thousand and ten variables that come with making an informed decision.   What is being “informed” anyway?? If you’re the type of person who says this- you have been living a life of excuses. Making a decision is simple. Simple doesn’t mean easy. Someone once said, “Indecision means the door is still closed.” Meaning- you are closed off to opportunity.   You are stuck in a small frame of mind. That being s...

Broken Glass Poem

Through your eyes, The glass wall shatters, And piece by piece, Suddenly nothing else matters, The broken shards, Are stained with red, And nothing but sorrow, Is filled in your head, The fractured glass, Digs wounds in your soul, With the feelings of misery, That are taking their toll, Pierced by pain as the glass cuts deeper, Sitting and waiting for a miracle peacekeeper, Searching for signs of change to occur, And hopes of this all becoming a blur, Swept away with hope, And brought to clarity, A save haven for peace, And ultimate tranquility, A new life has started, With no broken glass in sight, For you have pulled through the darkness, To see the sunlight.
