Experiences...

Somethings can make you feel awake and alive. Wait, why only somethings, when every little experience cherished can make you awake and alive? Everything can make you feel awake and alive if you just throw out the wishy washy talk and just enjoy the feeling. Enjoy what you have instead of thinking "damn, the grass is very green on the other side, should I take a 3 hour drive and go there maybe?" No, you shouldn't. Just hear your own breath and concentrate on it. Yes, concentrate on it and follow it's rhythms. Follow it and stop being a tad bit lazy. Following it? Good. Now that you are following it, don't you find it interesting the way you breathe? Are you enjoying this experience now? Do you feel a bit happy and alive when you can hear yourself breathe? We all should. 

Well, going off topic is something which I have mastered so do not mind me at all. But everything can make you feel happy and alive, if you know how to live in it. Now let me do the classic classification for you. 
                                               EXPERIENCES 
                                                             1. BAD (Duh, my friend) 
                                                             2. GOOD (Uhm Why, what did you expect?)

So there are good experiences and then there are the bad experiences. Good experiences can make you feel alive, satisfied and happy but the bad ones, the scary horrible ones which you pray to never see again are the ones which are a bit important if you see because they awaken you. They awaken you either from the lies which you have been living or the dreams which you have been seeing. 

So in the end, all experiences are important. And even more important is to live them and feel them. As the poet Henry David Thoreau said "suck the marrow out of life" but another important advice which was given by Robin Williams in the beautiful movie Dead Poets Society "Sucking the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bones" So yeah, experience things and live it but eh, be careful, I guess? Haha
