You know what makes me feel good? Getting things done. Also, having posts that don't suck. I feel like my posts suck lately. Should I stop trying? I keep trying to hammer it out and hope something magic happens. Should I wait until something truly blog-worthy happens in my little life?
I like to think that my life is little. Is that weird? I like to think that I have my own sphere of people and places that I know. I like to think that little things can be important things too.
I think I keep blogging even though nothing of note happens to me because I like to think that little things in a little life can be important. I mean, lots of big things are the results of billions of little things right? Like molecularly. Or take voting, for example. I think little things have to be consistent in order to make a difference.
I like to have an end goal when I blog, but I don't really have an end goal with this little post. And it's getting less and less little by the word.
But the point of blogging is that I take a little writing and I do it consistently and I become better at sharing little things. I develop a skill. Which is weird because I'm not sure if that skill is writing-involved or not. I think that skill is maybe expressing? I think everyone needs to learn to express themselves. But in my case, I think I learn to express the right parts of me. Like I said about choosing the things you love and making them bigger. Making them a larger slice of the pie.
I love the little things. I love chocolate milk with my family. And words like "racist" and "holla". I love singing in the car. I love the toes of babies. I love the sore feeling the morning after exercising. I love crossing something on a list out. I love utility curves. I love planning my little life. I love notes on a staff. I love the scars on my fingers. I love words on a page and on a screen.
Was that a boring list? I hope not. I think little things are the things that make people interesting. I think little things make it easy to fall in love. I think pretty highly of little things, in case you couldn't tell. Which is probably why I keep blogging even though nothing big is happening.
One little thing I do when I have the self esteem for it is themed photo shoots.
Remember the 80s? I don't actually. I wasn't alive. But I remember parts of the early 90s, which are more or less the 80s. Hence the following picture:
There are others, but I am too embarrassed to show them. But I also wish I had a hair scrunchie.
A hair a scrunchie is a little thing that would have made a big difference.
Girl, please. Little things aren't just little things. They're small and simple things.
ReplyDeleteI definitely echo the comment above. I find that some of the best insights come from thinking about the minutia of everyday life and putting whatever it does (or really doesn't) mean on paper.
