She’s Never Afraid..

Time is a beautiful thing. How long do you think it took this plant to grow out of this particular edge of concrete?

Did this plant decide this was where he/she wanted to grow or was it by chance this was where it was meant to be?… Fate.

My birthday is around the corner, I’ll be 30 years old. I could very well be a spitting image of this plant in flesh. Perfectly placed in the middle of whatever concrete jungle this is called “Life”.

Some of us take the time to reflect on such abstract thoughts and seek the thrill out of thoughts and how intricate our minds are..others take life by the horns and face everyday given without thinking twice. Literally live up every moment given to them at the fullest.. meanwhile I’m here with literally nothing better to do but sit here and write.

I’m currently sitting at the mechanic shop awaiting a diagnosis of my engine. I’m listening to music on my AirPods (Thank you Apple) On my day off of work this is what “Adult-Hood” consists of. What I wouldn’t give to not have a single responsibility in the world…

I’m sure there are plenty of others who feel the same. Here’s the real question… WHEN DID I AGREE TO ANY OF THESE RESPONSIBILITIES.. ?! These just piled on literally one at a time… and I slowly but surely took on more and more as time passed. ( I mustn’t be the only one questioning this)… if I would have known that saying YES… or just accepting another responsibility at the time that I took it on.. was going to pile on little by little… how do we get to old age without a single worry.. is that even possible?

I have been reading this book called “The 5 Languages of Love By Gary Chapman”

It states that real love is once we have fallen out of being In Love. That’s when we realize we love someone… because we choose to do certain things because we love them… in other words we have the choice to love and we make this possible by choice. (I totally agree)

So here I am… a million different random thoughts at the same time. At least I know that I am Alive… with the ability to think independently…

I wonder if that plant watches the Sunset and Sunrise and is also happy to see another day. When it rains it drinks the water and appreciates the rainfall. Come to think about it.. plants express their emotions bluntly… When they are smiling their leaves are visibly perky and green 🌱 reaching upwards . When plants are sad they seem down and withering…

In Conclusion:

Random thoughts while at the Mechanic shop.
