Sometimes I wish I have something more meaningful to say other than recording the daily mundane details of life (which I love doing). I hope I haven't been too egocentric but I think people tend to find meanings in something that are personal to them. For example, some of us may be particularly passionate about a certain type of food (Mexican, in my case), a certain song on your ipod, or even the latest fashion trends on the NYC catwalk...the list goes on.
Today one of my classes was cancelled so that meant for the first time this semester I got the rest of Friday afternoon off. Oh, what joys! However, when I was walking home, I was reminded that sometimes we can be so passionate things that are meaningless. There are many things in life which are truly meaningful, but doesn't strike any flames in my heart. I read someone's blog the other day, and she said that in order to make something meaningful to us, we must make it personal first. How true!
I can clearly see in myself so many situations in which that applies. For most of the year, I've been turning away and shutting the doors to so many wonderful causes simply because I could not relate to them directly...but the truth is, things that are meaningful don't always go knocking on your door and demand your friendship (like so many useless items that catch your eyes online and catalogs that you find uninvited to your mailbox), instead, we gotta make an effort to invite them into our lives...make them personal...
