In a humming sweet spot
Sep. 2nd, 2010 11:14 pm (And no, that's not an innuendo).
Sometimes there is just a string of consecutive days when everything goes smoothly. Take note: smoothly, not perfectly. I'm not talking about days when I'm on a holiday somewhere exotic, sipping a nice alcoholic beverage, looking to the horizon thinking, "This is the life!" I'm talking about perfunctorily regular days when I have to do a couple of errands, concern myself with getting a job, think about how best to entertain myself for the day, maybe meet up with a couple of friends for lunch or dinner or drinks, normal, everyday stuff. Yet despite that, I feel quite in sync with the hum of the city (in my case, Manila), and consequently, myself. Everything is going my way and there's... nothing to complain about. It's literally living in a sweet spot for days at a time, where no one and nothing can annoy me in any degree. I have no worries, no major decisions to make. Sarap ng chill lang.
Although, some might call it equilibrium? But no. I'm too emotional a person; thus, I can't be expected to maintain this kind of "equilibrium" for prolonged periods of time, because in the back of my head, there's always that extant thought: "Something's got to give." Bawal ang masyadong masaya; people who never feel down in the dumps are the world's biggest pretenders or the most...impervious? It feels like quite the gift to be feeling so recklessly carefree right now.
Time to listen to Fever Ray! Steady vibes.
