I'm On Earth

I have had my share of disappointments in this life. I have loved and lost. Like many of you out there. My OtherEnders.

And many other disappointments are yet to come. This makes me realize that some of what I have today is to be lost tomorrow. I am happy today but am to be disappointed tomorrow.

But still, I shouldn’t give up. I am to be happy again after tomorrow. Apparently that’s how it goes. Twenty nine years have taught me. A lot actually.

I guess life is like an economics theory. The simple rule of supply and demand applies to it. Some people demand happiness because their lives lack some of it and others supply happiness because they have so much of it. The two curves intersect at the equilibrium point where we stand today. Our social status. The only point that we share together. But which we can’t see.

I imagine myself in front of a beautiful sight. There are green mountains, calm rivers, flying birds and a clear blue sky. But I also see myself in this portrait. Then I realize that it’s just a mirror I’m looking at. I see my own reflection and this whole gorgeous sight behind it.

That could be my past. My yesterday. My today is not in the mirror. It’s what’s around me now. Which might not be as beautiful. But my tomorrow might be even more.

Let’s see.

Sometimes I guess my words make me sound serious and sucked by another parallel world. The reality is that I’m still the guy next door. The guy that likes to have many laughs. Many drinks and much other unhealthy stuff. The guy that likes to surround himself with funny people and that throws himself in weird situations. The guy that thinks the sky is blue because it’s blue and the sun is a ball of fire because it’s a ball of fire.

Some of you might say that the sun is a ball of fire created by God to give us light. I would still say that it’s a ball of fire. I see things as they are and never see things as “why they are”. Why go into deep thinking when deep thinking is not required. Why live your day with ten deep thoughts when you could survive just fine with three simple thoughts.

Don’t say I’m naïve. Say I’m on earth …

… not two feet above.
