#3 Don’t read this if you’re feeling relatively happy today.

Life is such a weird concept for me. It’s common knowledge that ‘life is short’, we are reminded of this every time someone passes away. But seriously, how short is it? If I, as a woman, manage to live until my life expectancy of 82, that is a really really really long time. Well at least it seems like it to me. So basically we spend the first 20 odd years of our lives in education,  the next  FORTY working 9-5 or probably by the time I get to that age- the next FIFTY years making ends meet, only to then keep plodding on for a further ten or TWENTY years! It tires me just thinking about it. As bad or controversial as this may sound, what actually is the point of it all? We spend most of our lives working to make money that will be meaningless as soon as we die, to pass on to our children who will meet the same fate as us eventually. As morbid as this sounds, it is true. Nothing that we have in life, our possessions or relationships are permanent. After spending too long with my depressing thoughts I’ve decided that I’ll essentially not worry about anything and go and do whatever I want with my life because I’m going to die anyway, I just hope that it doesn’t come too soon. And on that lovely note I’d like to apologise if I killed your vibe.
