It’s been a long long month, and I’m glad it’s coming to an end. There’s honestly a lot to rant about but I’ve been trying not to do that too often.
But back up for a bit, don’t you think it’s funny how humanity moves in the same loop? I’ve written about being active participants in our lives as opposed to remaining observers and it's quite funny how there are some things we do on auto-pilot just because we’re human beings. We wake up, eat, find food, find shelter, and chase this and that albeit with slight alterations. I think we’re quite stupid for it though, in the sense that we’d be making the same mistakes. But before we run wild cursing the world, here are some random things we do that are utterly human that I think make us magic:
Cooing at babies and cats
‘Midnight snacks’ that are never just ‘snacks’
Running because everyone else is running, no questions asked.
Nervously confessing to that one person that makes you giggle like a child
Kicking your feet in the air when you see their text.
Having bursts of jealousy because we want affection from that one specific person
Saying we don’t care but we do
Hugging loved ones we haven’t seen in ages,
Keeping random letters from besties,
2 am conversations drunk and sober,
Retail therapy doesn’t always work but we do it anyway,
Dancing when no one’s watching
Singing in the shower
Long walks
Sobbing into pillows
A complete 360 when we realise ‘fuck this isn’t what I want my life to be like’
Casually singing along to songs in crowds
Stealing a kiss, and stealing time to breathe
The urge to ‘race ya’
Laughing at inside jokes
“I’m fine” when we’re not
“You forgot something!” we yell while chasing a friend, a mom, a significant other ….
Making art that speaks to a niche group of people
Thinking the previous generation was better even though its the nostalgia speaking
Doing what we can regardless of how impossible the outcome seems
Chasing big dreams with little legs
Thinking we can save the world even though we’re just like a speck of dust in the universe;
Realising our mortality and deciding we are infinite regardless.
What makes you feel like magic? Let me know in the comments
