I think it's so easy to be lost in the mundane tasks of everyday life and being creatures of habit, we do it easily. 

We become programmed to act like robots rather than human beings. Go to work, come home, attend to our families, watch TV, wash up and head to bed. (oh so boring). I am not saying these are the tasks that I do. I don't even watch TV because the BBC is whack (anyway, I digress). My point is that routine is pretty stifling. What are the reasons you do or have the routine in the first place? That's a rhetorical question. For most, I already know the answer. 

You can repeat tasks for a number of years but then there comes a time when you realise that there is more to life. From my own experiences and conversations, I've had. It's usually some life-changing event that takes place and wakes you up. 

It's at that point, you start to reevaluate your life and its purpose. 

Maybe because you're not twenty-something, you have become risk-averse in your planning. Your decisions are based on logical sense. Probably, the logical from a perspective of societal norms. 

Now you're identified in your "awokeness". What happens now? 

No answers today. Maybe it's avoidance. 

Well, that's my morning thoughts out of the way. Now it's time to turn the laptop on and see what the world is talking about today. 

If there is anybody listening, then thanks. If nobody is listening, then thanks again. It means I can just carry on private journaling.
