Is it me or is the energy of the world in a totally different place? There’s no real, genuine connections that are occurring and there’s so many reasons for it. The biggest reason, we’re divided. From relationships to politics and world affairs and plenty of other things.
There’s also the element of life just being “hard” right now. I watch people a lot and pay attention to the smallest, intricate things and we’re all entrenched in our own worlds. We’re in deep thought of “what’s next” or what we “have to do,” more than being in the moment.
I watched a couple get out of a car to go in a store and they were in synchronation of how they got out of the car, closed their doors and immediately looked down to their phone screens. I’ve been riding my bike on a sidewalk and people are looking down at their phones not even paying attention to me coming in their direction.
There’s been moments in time where I’m at the pool in my building and I’m watching people who are engaged with their phones rather than those who are around them. Are we that deep in our thoughts where we can’t even say hello to anyone or start a conversation with each other?
We’re spending so much time trying to escape the reality we are currently living in. Life has become this stressful battle of survival and not full of joy, happiness and moments. You start to wonder how many people are truly happy with their lives or are we painting a facade of what we’re truly dealing with mentally.
There’s only so much social media keeping up with other people that can keep us at peace. There’s only so much sports that can keep us happy. There’s only so many TV shows we can watch that can give us peace. Sometimes all of the distractions takes away from better ways to enjoy life.
The world is changing constantly but it shouldn’t take away from us as people establishing relationships. It can be scary to start a conversation with someone else but you’ll only know who people are if you don’t take initiative. Sometimes, I keep myself from putting effort into new people because I’m trying to preserve my energy so I get it.
We’re all trying to figure out our lives currently. We have underlying stressors that we’re managing from day to day, we’ve got all of these responsibilities to take care of. Maybe we need to take a break and do something different to break the monotony of life.
Life is about energy transfer, let’s do our best to make it better for others. Let’s learn more about each other and our stories. Fear can turn into perspective if we look at the bigger picture of what life is and could be.
That’s my blog for today, thanks for reading, be good and go accomplish your goals!
