You know what I realized? I realized that I am a lazy person. And, in my everyday life, I will revert back to doing nothing or the bare minimum because it’s comfortable and doing things is tiring. I often will choose to sleep in instead of get up and go to class/be productive. I’ll sit in front of a TV and watch HGTV instead of going out with friends. I will cook dinner and then, as soon as my butt hits a cushion, the dishes can wait ‘til later. I’d rather sit in bed and cuddle with my boyfriend of almost 3 years (6 more days!!!) than go to the grocery store, go dancing or even go to a movie to sit on my lazy ass elsewhere…yeah, I’m lazy…and do you know what being lazy gets you?
Nothing.
No memories (which is why I hate being lazy most), no added kindling to the fire of friendships, no life.
I’m not sure if I got it from my family or from being in a relationship and finding myself complacent and comfortable with sitting at home every night is the cause of my idleness…but I want to be less dull starting pronto. Because I’m beginning to realize how short life can be, and what a waste it would be have only lived life up until the moment I became an adult, graduated and had to work full time. These are not excuses people, so I advise you against trying to use them as I have.
Soooo, when I have friends like Thomas, my amigo de Español, who gets me out of my lazy funk and MAKES me go to class, MAKES me go to Spanish group and MAKES me get fired up for taking salsa lessons and having a tapas night, I realize how blessed I am and how having a friend like that is something special.
So thanks Thomas, for having so much energy it spills out of you and onto others like me who are lacking :)
