Weekly Writing Challenge: My Funny Valentine?

Mia7 Comments

I hate Valentine’s Day with passion. That’s the most useless day ever. Why can’t people remember their friends and loved ones everyday? Must there be a special day for it? Here in Finland it’s been mostly been about friendship. It’s an American thing for being a day for lovers. It’s just another reason to make money. Even here shops is full of Valentine crap. When I was in school, we only made a Valentine’s day card to our friends and that was that. It wasn’t anything special.

These days there’s a lot of fuss about the day. I just want to close my eyes and which the day would be over. I don’t care about the day and wouldn’t care less if it was banned for life. It just isn’t my thing and never will be.

Emptiness
Emptiness

Since I have nothing else to write about, this is my 2nd weekly writing challenge. This is how it feels like when trying to write something. Emptiness. There are days I don’t feel like doing anything. Just sit in front of the lap top or computer and look at videos on Youtube. Or just passing time surfing without a purpose. Mind is full with emptiness. No light in the end of tunnel when it comes to doing things. More important things. Whatever that is.

Even though I got a few things in my drafts, I don’t feel like writing them. This blog is as boring as my life is. Even in my mind, things are boring. I’m not one of those people that go around telling strangers that I just took a shower or went to the store. Like some people on Twitter or Facebook do. Why some people have the urge to tell things like that, is beyond me. Hello, some privacy thank you.

The only cure to emptiness I can think of is, Entertainment (like Sherlock. So obsessed with that TV show right now) Maybe there is a light in the end of the tunnel after all.

Longing for freedom

Have you ever wished you could just get away? Not from this life, from the life you’re living. Do you wish you could just go somewhere to collect your thoughts? Just for a moment.

Everyone feels stressed once in a while. If it’s your work, your friends or family giving you a hard time. You wish you could just go somewhere. Maybe travel to another country. As long as it’s somewhere else.

Or you could just go out to the nearest beach or maybe you live near the ocean. Or even go to a park. It doesn’t have to cost a thing. Try to a find a place where there’s not many people around or none. If you don’t have a place like that. Why not just sit down on a chair at home and close your eyes. Imagine you’re sitting on a cliff, looking out to the sea. You’re all alone and no one interrupts your thoughts. The weather can be whatever you want it to be. A warm breeze or no wind at all. It can be hot or cold, whatever you prefer. Just drift away for a while.

It can also be somewhere in nature. Maybe there’s a place where you used to spend your time when you were a child. Imagine the birds singing. The smell of trees. The smell of fresh air. Think about those summer days when you were a child. Time of innocence.

We all need an escape from reality. Take a look inside your mind. It does wonders to your brain. Contemplation is not that difficult. Just lay back and relax a bit. Life is not that serious.
