The conflict between what you already possess and what you want to have, prevails in society. Humans are greedy. We are seldom contented. But I want to find contentment… in the little things, in conversations, in travel and just about everything in between. I do find myself more appreciative after placing less priority on the materialistic wants. The shift in perspective might be the best damn thing to happen since leaving home.
Speaking of perspectives, I think I am trying to inverse the situation and just let things fall as they may, instead of pursuing it with my list of expectations and nit-picking. Rather than list my ideals in a guy, I should be improving myself.
- I’m not good in the kitchen but I’ll try. I’ll find recipes and bake for you sans occasion.
- I’m good at handicraft, but I don’t make things for people as gifts (I rather buy). But if you’re sentimental and you would really rather that, I would make scrap books and sew you clothes.
- I’m always watching tv or online, but if you want, I’ll go for long walks and listen.
- I’m impatient but I could learn to wait.
- I’m bad at cleaning but I’ll stop making excuses and messes.
In so many ways I know I can make better. Although they say “you shouldn’t change just for someone”, but I think those minute details are just improvements. It takes the self-absorb part out of me. But I don’t think I can give up lying on my back, listening to good music, doodling or writing while thinking of the places I’ve never been.
