I’ve been in a bit of a world of my own the past few days. You know that split moment when you realise you’ve been washing the same juicing jug for the last three and a half minutes and you’re like “Whoa… Out of body experience much!?”? You know. So I’ve been a little bit stuck in my head. Thinking. I don’t want things to be easy by any means (no, no- where is the fun in that!?) but here’s what I propose:

Relationships & Love etc. etc.:
Why can’t relationships just be; like, not having to constantly work at it and just be content? To not have to tell one another your feelings all the time; to just know? *sigh*

Health:
Be as you are. I have a list which by no means is an exhaustive list, nor a ‘pity me please’ or a ‘look, I have more things wrong with me’ list- Spina Bifida, Klippel Feil syndrome, Duane syndrome, Hemicrania Continua, 70% loss of hearing, anaemia, hypoglycemia… It goes on. Thing is, it could be a whole lot worse and I’m grateful, appreciative even. My List- they’re all milder forms of what could have been. Back pain everyday reminds me that it’d be far worse not to feel it.

Money:
Have enough to live. I’ve never once believed money has a happiness factor about it. Sure, I get excited over a new Kindle… It’s a prrrreeeetty cool Kindle, I’ve named her Piper. I’ve had money, I’ve had no money; I’ve spent money, I’ve not spent money. I’m not naive- money makes things less stressful. So? Work for enough to live; any more is just a bonus.

In general:
The biggest pooper of my day is when I don’t feel inspired or grateful, it makes me sad. Don’t take time, happiness, love, pain and all the rest for granted. If you want something, work for it. If you want to be somewhere, go.

Yeah, I’m getting me my philisophical hat on!

I was planning on doing a wee post about the adventures of my recent trip to Germany today but I don’t see how I can start it to be honest. I went for a hearing appointment at Boots earlier on- you know, you see one of those cut out vouchers things the lifestyle section of a magazine and think ‘meh, might as well’. So I’ve always known that my hearing is pants- I’ve never really been able to hear anything in my right ear and use my left for all my listening activities. Yup, I knew the result was going to be poor even before I donned the headphones and Button-Basher-doodah. I didn’t quite bargain on the result showing I hear about 30% of what other people my age usually hear though; or maybe I did? I knew it’d be poor, right? But I’m missing out on 70% of… sounds and I can hand on heart say that I don’t understand. You guys hear what I hear times 3 and a bit and I don’t understand how I can be missing out on so much? I can hear! If I heard what you hear, would my brain explode from the noise or would I cry at all I didn’t know was there? I don’t understand.
