The important things in life.

Ever since I have finished school and have been on my holidays, I never feel productive if I spend the day at home. I feel like I should be doing more and that I just waste my time. In some respects, it would certainly look like that! What I need to remember, however, is that not every day has to be action packed. I hate feeling like this, but then, who enjoys it?

Every day in which you wake up is dictated and moulded by every simple action that you proceed to do. Right?
Right.
In a more straightforward sentence, you create the day. Your decisions are what controls how you feel at the end of a day. Even better, your decisions of that day can control how you feel in the next day. Or the next week. Or even the next year! Great, huh?
Well, maybe not always.

This doesn't mean that it's the end of the world, though. You don't have to spend every waking moment, scared that you will do something wrong which will possibly change your future for the worse. People do things on impulse and reflex most of the time! Or, should I say, our brain does it. Your brain has evolved to basically protect you from the most basic things. The oven's hot? PULL AWAY! Fly? SWAT THAT BASTARD! You fall? ARMS, TAKE THE FALL! Our brain is extremely clever. It's evolved for the little moments in which we need it for the things that we cannot process to do. That does not mean that you should abuse it or not use it correctly. Stay hydrated, stay social, do puzzles. READ! Brain's love that shit. Believe me.

{You're probably thinking, 'Why is this all relevant?'. No, what you're actually thinking is, 'What the hell is this freak on about?!'. It's okay, I'm used to it. Maybe it's all the Meow Chat and game requests that have slowly turned me -more- insane. But don't worry, stay with me. This all ties into a neat little bow in which you will all think I'm some God like creature who has abused her right of owning a laptop and internet access.}

What I'm asking you, no, what I'm TELLING you, is that you need to do things for you. The you in the present. The you who wants to live a long, happy future. The you who wants that last damn slice of cake. Don't WORRY about the people of NOW; They could be temporary. If they want to be permanent, they'll be the one's stuffing the piece of cake in your face.
Say YES to the roller-coaster.
Say YES to evenings of popcorn and movies with friends, even though you're up early tomorrow.
Say YES to making yourself happy.
If you don't do what's good for you now, you could pay for it. I know I said don't worry about every action, but take each day and summarise it. Consciously add things into your day that you will BENEFIT from. An extra glass of water, some time with your family, a coffee by yourself and a book.

Live life a day at a time. Live in the moment. Live.
Just existing isn't an option.
