could it be that everything goes 'round by chance?
or only one way that was always meant to be?

give me ordinary

August 8, 2008

I am so caught up in everything that is happening that I almost forgot to write on this specific day.  I would never experience this day ever again nor the date of 080808 will ever happen once more, well, in my lifetime.

Come to think of it, everyday of our lives can actually only happen once, only once.  Sometimes we have off days and we think that nothing can be worse than what we are experiencing.  There are days that are actually filled with joy and happiness and that nothing seems to ruin it no matter what happens.  There are also days that are actually insignificant for us, as if we just have to pass that day to get to another, and as if that day isn’t really very crucial.  Nevertheless, all the past days and all those that would still be coming will only happen once in our life.

Wouldn’t it feel better to actually leave a mark on a specific day, each and every day?  Those idle moments and thoughtless days should be made into something significant.  Wouldn’t it be more delightful if we are able to say that everyday of our lives is actually worth living, important, crucial.

My day today is ordinary I suppose.  I went to help deprived children in the institution I work with for my organization.  I didn’t manage to go to the gym like all the other days.  I went to all my classes not expecting much than knowledge.  I went to a meeting with the council and was able to actually express thoughts that I have been longing to express.  I went home with the street lights on and the horizon dim.  Therefore, today is ordinary, like all the other days so I suppose I can just simply neglect a day like this happening.  But after writing about it and reflecting I then discovered, each and every ordinary day I encounter is in fact more important than I think it is.  I was able to help.  I was able to learn.  I was able to produce insights.  All those little facts could have at least made this day worth living, like all the other days.
