This Is My Life

Right now, I'm not sure if you could consider my life exciting or not. It's not completely devoid of joy and fun, but I can't say that it's absolutely fabulous, either. I work the standard 40 hours, and no more, thank God. I come into work at 9:00 am and leave around 5:30. I'll go home and either watch TV, eat, cook, nap, talk to a friend on the phone or meet up with a friend for dinner or coffee. Sometimes, I'll go body-boarding with a friend, and then get dinner at a Korean restaurant or Vietnamese restaurant. After freezing my bootay in the ocean nothing beats a bowl of warm soup. Every Thursday night I meet up with my therapist, so that I can sort out my internal junk, and that sums up my week days.

On the weekends, I wake up late, because I can and then I eat breakfast at Toast or some other "HOT" restaurant in Los Angeles with friends. Afterwards, I'll hit the mall or some hip LA stores to eye-shop or shop. On occasion, I visit my family in Fullerton or meet up with an old friend that I haven't seen in a while. Depending on how spiritual I feel, I'll hit the church circuit and have lunch with my church friends. After all this, I'll come home and clean my apartment and do my laundry.

This is my life in a nutshell. It's not too crazy nor too boring, but, I think, for now, it's just right. After years of instability and unpredictability, my life now can feel dull and borderline stale. At times, I get restless, and I'll slowly start to devalue what I have. Just like the next person, discontentment and boredom can run rapid in my heart and mind. It's truly a discipline and a skill to take a step back, appreciate, and enjoy all the good that fills my little nutshell. I'm not quite there yet, but I hope to be soon, because this is my life.
