I’ve realized I’m so comfortable with my everyday routine and sometimes it feels like if I don’t do what I am comfortable doing, my vibe feels off. What can I say, I’m a creature of habit, and yes my routine changes when the new semesters come and the seasons change, but I like to stick to what’s comfortable. I feel like this is normal as a human being, am I right?

It’s not that I don’t accept change because the thing is I do, and even though I’m comfortable, I want something more but I don’t know what or how. You know the slump we all go through sometimes when we want something but we don't necessarily know what? All I know is, change always feels good and everybody needs a little switch up sometimes. Although, the more I started thinking about this whole topic of change, I realized, maybe I don’t go every day just going through the motions, I just have to alter my way of looking at each day and each moment.

I’m always observing everything around me and I think each day is much different than I realize. I’m constantly making up stories about people I see, I notice the way the light hits the building above me, and I see the movie ticket someone dropped on the ground as I walk by. I try to notice and appreciate the little things, and I have to remind myself that those things make each day unique and awesome, as weird as that sounds. So next time you're walking to the same bus stop every day, start to look around at the things you maybe haven't noticed before, and appreciate the simple things.This world is extremely large and there are so many different kinds of people, it’s crazy. You have to look at each person with empathy and each moment with an open mind. It’s so cool and crazy to me, when I look at people individually and I think, wow, they have a life... do you know what I mean? Everyone lives their own life and it’s so much different than mine, and yours, but some aspects are also probably the same. Yes, the world is extremely large, but it’s also extremely small, and we have to remember why we’re here and what’s most important. We have to live every day with empathy and gratefulness, and I think that if we all start noticing and appreciating the little moments, we will live happier lives, and maybe all the days don’t have to be all the same; it just depends on how you’re looking at it.
