On another thought…

This one’s all about putting my thoughts out there, in the open, in the wild, to the world, just to fly and find a place in your mind, and become your food for thought.

On another thought, I was wondering, what would life be like a few decades from now?

Probably old age will cast it’s overpowering shadow over me. Will i have off-springs? Will i find the love of my life, or struggle through a lot many spouses? Will i have the physical strength to make tattoos at that time? Will i be an angry mad woman with a mid-life crisis, shouting at people whenever and however possible? Will i become an alcoholic? Oh! The scariest one! The things we treat as vitamin deficiencies and stress-induced issues, will they increase in magnitude?

Well, truly from within, i know old age is an obvious tale. As a woman, you are subjected to loads of emotions throughout your entire lifetime, from birth to death. Dress like this, walk like that, talk like this, eat this, eat that, buy groceries, bleed once a month, sometimes once in three months, producing babies, feed them, doing chores, taking care of others, projecting a touch of motherhood into everything cz you wouldn’t do it any other way. And after all of this, they still wonder why we can do drugs, too! Huh.

From my experience, it is only due to this massive pandemic, people have started focusing on sustainability. Like, keeping yourself sustainable for the years to come. Healthy food instead of all that junk you have been gobbling, daily stretching and flexing for good blood circulation, taking time off, doing more of what they’re good at doing, making their homes look wonderful, honing a new hobby, and lastly focusing on mental well-being. Quite a wholesome approach isn’t it? To me that is the new normal. Well, you gotta continue doing it for some time, maybe a long time. Who knows right?!

But i like this thought. On the contrary, does that also people are scared of dying, or just love the earth so much that they wanna live longer?! If you ever find an answer to that, write to me in the comments. :D

The things i jotted down previously, were as random nice morning skies I’ve been waking up to. Old-age or not, I’m pretty sure, I’ll always be ensuring a room with a good view for myself. Whether it’s day or night, there’ll always be something breathtaking to look at.

On another thought. drinking brandy with warm water on wintry nights isn’t a bad idea, after a long tiring day. Replace your incense sticks, with a pretty diffuser, and light it up during the night, while enjoying your drink. Play music that brings some nostalgia. Feels like heaven is all around you.

On another thought, as i go forward and publish this today, and after a few years, if i ever come back and read this, I’ll know i may have thought a lot of things through but I’m surely not the only one who would have been having all this on the mind. I’ll know i was getting one step ahead in adulting. I’ll know i was going one step forward at trying to have good peace of mind and cultivate sustainability. Or maybe I’ll just pat myself in the back for good grammar and gobble down a burrito.
