Today started out a normal day. Went and got gas cleaned my windows drove to work. It wasnt until I was heading home that something hit me. A simple thing like clean windows.
I noticed how bright and colorful things are. The limit of people being out has taken a lot of the smog away so the sky is a beautiful blue. Anyway I looked in my rearview mirror and could clearly see the bright colors of the cars as well.
This got me thinking, am I the type of person who wears rose colored glasses and thinks everything is sunshine and Rose's or am I the person looking thru the dirty windows. I realized I would rather watch the world in the dirty windows. It limits the amount of disappointment. The best part is when you clean all the mud off the world is so bright and beautiful again.
Now I'm not saying there is anything wrong with rose colored glasses but sometimes looking at things that way doesnt show you the true nature. I know neither do muddy windows.
So looking at life like I do waiting for the bad or expecting it to come keeps me guarded, I dont let myself give in to the bs, I retract and hide. Today seeing the world from a clean window i know what I'm missing....life.
I am going to try and keep my windows clean, I am going to try and view the world around me. I have been so lost in this new world that I have given parts of me up. Today made me see that. I miss this, just expressing myself the interactions with others. It will take sometime to find my stride in writing again but I will and it will be for me.
I think in this life style we tend to try to find who we are that we give up small bits of ourselves. We let them fall to the side and want to learn new things. That's where I need to learn balance how do I learn new and keep the old parts I love.
So today I see the world as it should be seen, tomorrow is a different story. Maybe I will try the rose colored glasses or just another day looking out the clean window.
