Today journal about your day.
Today was a wildly unremarkable day. Like any other day, I followed my routine: getting up, scrolling through Tumblr, showering, eating a delightfully unhealthy breakfast and whatnot. When I saw my challenge for the day I was instantly aware of how many thoughts we have per day. It's incredible how we humans can fill up our days without truly doing anything. I mean, we can go through many 24 hours, periods where we occupy the world and never really create, go through, or do something we'll remember years from now. Like many days, today passed by unnoticed and unremarkable like heartbeats. But perhaps cataloging the ordinary can make these things somehow extraordinary. We get to step back and see the small glimmers of beauty that we otherwise would not take note of.
I enjoyed the warm summer day this afternoon and then spent the day at Barnes and Noble. I got I Am the Messenger, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and How I Met Your Mother season one. I ate pancakes for dinner and realized just how off kilter my diet really is. Good thing I'm a runner and I've got a nice, steady, teenage metabolism.
I watched The Breakfast Club which made me laugh and cry and think. And of course I admired the genius of George Watsky. Oh, and Sour Patch Kids. Damn. I need to eat a more balanced diet.
A remarkably unremarkable day, but in seeing this, I realized just how much I want to make my days count. Because, though small joys can be nice, you can only go so long before you have to free fall.
