PEAK & PIT

Hi, I’m Sam,

 

I think it's so easy for us to get blinded by circumstances and happenstance that we can seriously ignore tangible moments in our everyday lives. It’s quite easy to identify the big, loud moments, whether good or bad, so long as it’s loud, we easily register them at the back of our minds and that isn't necessarily a bad thing but we also need to be very conscious to identify the small, silent and even mundane things when they happen. A lot of us believe that everything has its Pros and cons and as such no matter how terrible your day or situation may be, if you are intentional you will also find out that there are some good hidden in between the not-so-good situations.

 

"There's light at the end of the tunnel" ~ because of how often and easy it is to drop this quote, it no longer carries the weight it should, or rather it still carries the weight but we often do not realize it as soon as we say it. Most people use it as a way to put a full stop to a series of words said to encourage someone. Whether or not we realize how weighty the quote is, it still doesn't remove an atom of truth from it. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, the main point is can we see it? It may be a bright fluorescent light or a flicker but it’s there, if there's no light there then you're not in a tunnel and it is very possible to be blind to either of them unless we decide that we always want to see the positives in every single situation.

 

 

If you've been reading my former posts, you will know that I always find a way to make things come easy to me. I don't like stress and as such I always try to work smart instead of doing things the way that sits well with society and neglect my feelings and motives. The idea of having a mechanism for almost everything in my life has made it really easy for me to process things and keep moving while taking note of each passing moment. No one is a stranger to the fact that things do not always go as we have detailed them to go. It doesn't matter the fail-safes we put in place, deep down in our heart of hearts, we know that there's a chance no matter how little that something might not go as expected, and as such, how do we expect us to act? Depending on our current moods, we may not even know exactly how we are going to react to something until it happens.

 

 

Face every activity and situation with positivity. I understand this is easier said than done but I know that practice makes doing anything easier. You are never going to get good or better at anything if you don’t practice and focus. Our daily lives come with so many activities, whether the ones in our plans or the ones that are not and you cannot predetermine what mood to face each one with but positivity is the best blanket emotion to embark on your days and activities with.

 

Peak and Pit is a mechanism I've adopted to try to pay more attention to my activities. At the end of the day, I try to list at least 5 peaks of my day and 1 pit. I chose one pit because I don't want to give so much time and energy to negativity. This is also similar to people who practice gratitude; where they list the things they're grateful for at the end of each day. This actively keeps my mind on the things that matter and keeps me accountable to the things I give my energy to.

GREEN SUNSET (Aurora Borealis Green)

Hi, I'm Sam,  Some may argue that the expectation of something makes the emotions less intense, which is probably the reason why so many people will admit that they love surprises, because they have no other choice but to react in the most genuine way possible for them. It is a fact and I know that the sun sets every single day in my region, at this point it is something I expect to happen but I don't look out for it, I only take note when it delays or probably doesn't happen which I have never experienced. Because I expect it to happen, I'm no longer fascinated by it. One of the hills I will gladly die on is that, there's no right or wrong way to grieve. There's no manual to it, you only react to the exact way you feel and depending on your emotional strength, you can suppress some emotions and control your actions. In several cases, no one plans for death, so all you have to do is react to it. You don't get to pick when and who it happens to, so you'r...

I LOVED TO BE CHOSEN

Hi, I'm Sam,  The wonderful thing about connection is that its not premeditated, you don't plan out how to get connected to someone. You can play by your rules and do things a certain way to create connections with someone and the truth is that if the connection is there, you'll know and when it's not there, there's absolutely nothing you can do to get it. Another thing can be that you're looking for the connection from the wrong angle. Its ok to have the desire to connect with someone from one angle, but when that angle doesn't work, you can either try another angle or let it go completely. Before I was chosen, someone looked at me and assessed me based on a list of requirements or was fascinated by what made me unique. Something that wasn't easily identified in someone else as it is identified in me made me stand out and something that otherwise made someone else unattractive, made me attractive in a way I probably wouldn't be able to ...

DID YOU HAVE FUN?

Hi, I'm Sam,  I don't announce it every 3 business days but I'm a Homebody. This was something I found particularly hard to accept because I was the liveliest kid in my family and everyone just concluded I was an extrovert. I changed when I was about 15 or 16 and by 18 my sister concluded that I was either depressed or battling with inferiority complex and I thought about it for a few days and immediately accepted that as the logical explanation to what was happening to me. I accepted that logic because I really loved how lively and outgoing I was growing up and I desperately wanted to go back to that, so if I know the problem, maybe I can find a solution and get my old self back. One of the most annoying things with people pointing out something about you is that when they do, whether they're just being plain mean or critiquing objectively, most times, you're bound to see what they're saying and then the battle within starts. The battle where you t...
