The time I was just rambling...

Hello peeps! It's 2024, and I'm still here. Typing away. Sometimes, it feels like I am trying to recapture the feeling of my past self. The many variations of it but here alas, I am typing these words as myself in the present moment. The year's about to wrap up and it sure is quite something. Older in age hopefully wiser, I hope I will keep this blog going because it's a space where I can just type anything away and feel like I have accomplished something. LOL. I am way less excited than before about sharing outfits but I still love to ramble away and this blog is the right place for it. Rambling is such a therapy. A way to write something in the sands of time and before I know it, I've forgotten about it thanks to the progression in age and the reduction of my own tolerance for BS (from others and especially myself). I can really sit in the moment and almost bury myself in that moment. Before some kind of distraction comes my way. 

Usually, of course, it's in the form of thoughts. They just pop up around and then go around and continue endlessly until I get myself involved in a physical task at hand. I especially enjoy focusing on driving but there seems to always be space that we hear ourselves play narrator or commentator of something. But all become vague tendrils of wispy smoke or fog disappearing into the ether.

I confess, the internet's experience isn't the same as it used to be. There's something empty about going into the blogging space especially. I miss when people really do blog! Just for the fun of it. Sure, there still a few blogger peeps I dearly follow for their fun updates and content, in general, lots of these spaces have become rather sterile. I hope this blog maintains a craziness and freedom of thought that it always was about and hopefully will still be. 

When I was a youngster, thoughts used to simply lay down on me like a ton of bricks and I was smothered by them. In contrast to the present state of my older 'self' I no longer feel them that way because the space in between thoughts and 'self'' has widened so that I can entertain thoughts without really be invested in them. Of course, we're in his plane of reality so when I am elaborating about say, a recipe I develop on a whim, I will write the thoughts about that recipe in a way that is to be perceived 'tangibly' so one can work with the ingredients. However, I am very much prone to being unable to zone in on a specific amount because I cook through instinct (after watching tons of cooking videos, that is) and thus, am presented with unexpected cooking outcomes.

Since I usually am the person I cook for, I have to take in the critics arising from my own brain cells. When the tummy is full but the critic is cursing, one notices that sometimes, this business of living is all about contrasting elements that can't help but to go with one another. So, there is no appreciating of one thing without some opposite thing to remind us that all these things are nothing without all that other things that can be sheer bothersome. Lesson: appreciate the bother, be unbothered by the bother, bother the unbothered. Be a bother!

Well now, that's a serious sign for me to end this blabbering entry. I will be seeing 'you' in the next one! 

But first, here's another snap of gorgeous coconut trees and some blue skies to tickle your eyeballs:

What thoughts do you have there in your mind? Share if you're feeling up for it!
