What would it be like to wake up one day, and have lost your memory of your everyday life completely? Would you see the simple everyday routine things that are taken for granted differently? Would you see your town/city in a way that you never saw it? Would the world around you become the most beautiful thing you had ever seen now, even though you never noticed the beauty in it the day before? Would simple activities such as walking to school or riding your bike downtown become inspiration filled, colourful adventures? Would your so called “enemies” become the closest friends, or quite possibly the love of your life? Would your life have completely changed and your senses be completely amazed? Would a simple bowl of cereal become a new “improved” gourmet meal? If everyone just took a step back out of their crazy lives and took a look at it from a brand new perspective, and looked at the routine things, activities, tasks, foods, etc. In a new way they never have before, I think they could completely re-evaluate their lives in a much more positive way. Look at the autumn trees like you’ve never seen them before, observe each and every colour and detail . Close your eyes and feel the brisk winter breeze blow through your hair, and breathe the fresh air into your lungs. It feels amazing. Look in the mirror and pretend you are just meeting the person staring back for the first time; You are beautiful. God made everyone beautiful, in millions of different ways. Nobody else is the same as you. Take this as a gift. Because it truly is. Make yourself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch one day. Eat it slowly as if this was the first time ever tasting one. It’s delicious. After this, it may even become your favorite food! Listen to the sound of the ground beneath your feet as you walk the earth. Now stomp. Or take a walk through the woods, over the fall leaves. Nature has some of the neatest sounds you could ever hear. Who would have thought? Lay in the grass for hours and hours. Stare into the perfect blue sky and it’s unique colour that’s impossible to capture by any camera, no matter how good the quality. Or lay in the grass for hours on a rainy day, as it washes the world around you. Don’t panic over getting wet. Get soaked. You’re not going to melt. Close your eyes and take a step out of your stressful, most likely pathetic life, and smile; You are alive.
