Meaningful stuff happens.

Maybe people have to learn to look at their lives as unfolding stories. True stories. Better than any fiction. In which they are the main character. Gives them the opportunity to relate to the others. In meaningful ways. For instance, one can choose to fall in love. Doesn’t automatically mean that the love will be reciprocated. But hey, it’s worth a try. And if things don’t work out, chalk it up as a learning experience. And go on to the next challenge. Seems to me the nicest thing of all is the opportunity to choose an interesting life. Really, there are so many, many ways to make life interesting. Often, by being different. By not fitting in. Doing whatever turns one on. Of course, one can choose to live a boring life. And just mark time. But one can also choose to travel and search for exotic pursuits. So many, many options. Most days, I can list 10 or 20 things to do. Fanciful and otherwise. Depending on my mood. And more often than not, meaningful stuff happens. –Jim Broede
