Sometimes I wonder why people feel the need to celebrate everything or anything, especially when you are in a relationship... When we are in high school everything is new so we tend to celebrate everything, but when we grow older we tend to take things for grated and either we expect that nothing good will happen and then we celebrate every good thing that happens to us, or we stop celebrating at all.
I love to celebrate everything (all most everything to be honest)! I love celebrating all the major good and bad things that happen to me...WAAAAAAAAAIT! Bad things?! Who does that?! Oh well, me... I think that everything that happens to a person is a gift from God so we have to celebrate it, no?
Do you remember the worst thing that ever happen to you? You thought in that moment that your life will end, but it didn't! And somehow you manage to overcome every bad situation in your life and you become stronger. I think that remembering the bad moments in life helps you be grateful for everything that you have now and also keeps your ego in check.
I don't know why but for us, as human beings, it is more simple to remember the bad moments in life and not the good ones and also complain (A LOT) about them, which is time consuming and completely unproductive. If we complain about something that will not help us fix it or overcome it, maybe it will take away part of our sadness, but just part of it. At some point I realize all of this and since then I have another perspective about life and I try to not take life so personal. And by that I mean that not all the bad things that happen to me are meant to hurt me, some are there to make me stronger and others just to teach me a lesson.
One year ago I thought that my life will end (I was in a really really bad place) and how much I wanted to believe that everything will be OK I still couldn't see it happening in the near future, but I keep hoping... And now (one year later) things are better than i hoped them to be, which is overwhelming. Normally, i still have not-that-good days but I don't have anymore this feeling that my life will end only because a bad thing happen. The funny thing about "bad things" is that usually they are not bad, they are just not the way that we wanted them to be (which is childish).
Let's talk about another kind of celebration...celebrating the really small things that happen to you on a daily basis. How many of us really do that? To be honest, I try my best to acknowledge every good thing that happen to me every day, but some days i forget. And now a question is born: how is that helping us? Well if we acknowledge every good thing that happen to us no matter how small (like drinking your favorite coffee in the morning) our mood is changing and we tend to enjoy life more, don't you agree? I don't think you have to be on a holiday or out with your friends to enjoy this small things, actually we SHOULD do them every day. Why?! From a statistical point of view we spend more time at work or working than doing other activities (this if you are not extremely rich and you don't need to work in order to maintain yourself), so why be miserable all this time waiting for the free time to enjoy life?! You might agree with me ("yeah! that's seems like a good idea but it's hard to that when your SOB of a boss yells at you for no good reason") but you will not incline to do it... BUT do you know that you can control how much can someone else can influence your mode? Of course you do! Because from now and again you have those amazing days when you are in an incredible mood and NOTHING and NOBODY can change it... And my question is "why can we be like that every day?". This one of my goals (or challenges) for this year: to try to be happy for no good reason, and it's working for me... How wants to give it a try?
BUUUT what's a "monthiversary"??? That's a good question with a extremely funny answer...An anniversary is when you celebrate every year something important that happen at some point, therefor a monthiversary is something that you celebrate every month, seems logic, no? If our memory serves as good, we used to do that in high school or middle school with our new relationships (everybody used to do it at some point, no matter how cool they are or were). So considering my New Year's resolution I thought that it will be appropriate to bring back the monthiversary... What am I monthiversaring, that's easy to guess... But is this so important?! And now comes the funny part: today is the monthiversary of an amazing thing and the anniversary of an awful thing (which coincided with another bad thing that happen some years back). Which is unbelievable! What were the odds of that happening?
My thoughts about today?! I celebrated this day like a normal Saturday (cleaning, studying and going out) but still this is one the most amazing days so far...
Have an amazing weekend!
