One teaspoon of emotion.

i have to repeat a famous line that may or may not be over-used: take time for yourself. i did. and i just realised how great it is. i was chilling at home doing nothing. when im at home chilling i do nothing. it means i waste time. most of the time i waste is used up on the time spent while walking from room to room, relocation. i do that a lot. for no reason. the rest of my time goes to opening the fridge every time i walk past the kitchen and checking if we have something good to eat. we never do. so basically i divide my time between walking around aimlessly and thinking about making something good to eat. now youre probably wondering what this has to do with taking time for oneself, but be patient, im getting there. so now then. today i was wasting time as usual, until i decided to go outside and shovel some snow out of our driveway (its been snowing like hell here, very beautiful, but thats the subject of a different post), or well i was told so by my brother. so i put my iPod on and went outside, with some heavy duty winter-gear. and when i was shoveling snow and listening to coldplay and the shins i realised that life is good. like seriously good. and goddamn i love my friends. so i took a moment and lay in the snow while New Slang (by the shins) and Fix You (coldplay) played through.... and i couldnt have felt better. it was this feeling of just being in the moment and soaking in every second of it. and letting all the wonderful things in ones life go flowing through your head and just being.. happy.

i really really recommend that you do the same some day. doesnt have to be shoveling snow, but anything. lying in the grass on a sunny day, taking a walk in the rain. anything. but it does need to be outside. and you also need good music. or well, lets just say it makes it a whole lot more enjoyable. but that could also just be me, i just love music so much.

so drop whatever you're doing and take a walk. go stand in the rain. or lie down in a big pile of snow. put on one of your favourite songs. and just sink in. forget everything. let that inexplicable feeling of happiness and relaxation wash over you. its worth it.
