These last few weeks, I have been feeling out of sorts and because of that, I have found myself getting irritated a lot easier than normal. Getting triggered by people's reactions or lack of. It continues to blow my mind, how some people just can't see what happening around them. How we are being pitted against one another. This side and that, especially when it comes to politics, religion, gender. People still falling for this divide and conquer strategy.
Still having faith in different politic parties, left wing or right, they are all really a part of the same bird.
It's something that really annoys me. I saw a meme the other day that said, 'I just want to live in a world, where I don't have to say, "What the fuck is wrong with you people", every time, I leave my house". It really does feel like that and yes I know, I shouldn't
let other people get to me, I should rise above it all. But It's not easy. Watching so many just take part in this game, that continue to be manipulated and controlled.
This weekend, I went to the coast, a night away with some friends. We stayed in an apartment near the beach, it was super quiet, as it's out of season, but it suited us fine. Most of the beaches were empty of people, but not of rubbish. Honestly, I just don't get how so many can just try nature with such disrespect. Littering everywhere, I mean where do they think all their rubbish will end up. Do they really believe it's someone else's responsibility.
I just want people to take responsibility for their own shit. It's not a lot to ask, is it? I thought the majority of people, where taught as children, to put their rubbish in the bin. Also, it's kind of common sense. But oh no, on the way to the beach, n the beach, in the sea, there was rubbish. Not loads, as there wasn't anyone there when we arrived, but I can only imagine what it is like during peak season. It irritates the hell out of me and it also makes me sad. Because at the end of the day, there is a huge disconnect there.
But enough about what annoys me, there is plenty that also makes me happy and energises me.
The first thing, is nature. Trees, flowers, soil, mountains, desert, the sea. If I need to recharge, it's to the wild I go. This morning, I got to watch the sun rise over the sea, what a blessing. It was just me and my friend, as we witnessed the red sun rise up above the horizon. As it did, I put some sea water in my hands and washed my face. The perfect way to fully awake my senses, to fully awake me. It was magic. Then I went for a swam this afternoon. The water was cold, but wow did I feel revitalised. I spend about 15 minutes in there, the winter sun, warming my face as my body adjusted to the cold water. Every part of my body was tingling. It felt so good.
It was a very spontaneous swim. I had no towel or swimming costume, so me and my friends swam in our birthday suits. When we emerged from the sea, we knew we needed to dry off and warm ourselves off. So we danced. Which is another thing that always energises me. No matter how I feel, I know that I can always turn to dancing. Even if I feel exhausted, I just need to put some tunes on, whatever the tempo and move. Today there was no music, but there was the sound of the sea and that was enough to get us dancing. I felt so amazing after, like I got the reset my mind and body needed. I really had the best day.
