Why So Serious? Most of us are way too serious, way too often. We turn our everyday situations into problems that we think should be thought of all day complaining about it and all night crying about it. We are constantly on the lookout for things to grumble about and distressing about a bunch of things that simply do not matter, and will never matter.
While it’s good to handle your business and get serious about the things in life that should actually be thought about, like growing up, living your life, loving yourself and being the best person you can be, being too serious can prevent you from having the time of your life and stop you from being the happiest person you want to be. It’s time to take a break from all the drama that life is throwing at you. You only live once, and no one should bring you down. There are things that don’t matter one bit in the big scheme of Infinite Universe. The galaxy is vast and never-ending, worrying about your failures doesn’t affect the whole wide world. If you ever want to put things in perspective, just look up at the stars, remember how it goes on so much further than that we can even conceive, and compare how massive and essential that is than with the little insignificant stuff you worry about. A proof by Michel Dugas, a psychologist at Concordia University in Montreal, had said worry is a good thing, but to a certain extent. He suggested that worry is like a bell-curve, where moderate levels can improve functioning and performance, but when excess worry occurs there would be a decline in performance. A person shouldn’t worry about every little thing that happens and just deal with it. Your world doesn’t revolve around it, and you are worth much more. Look at how ridiculous popular beliefs, culture and the media are. They make us think that the things we are doing are wrong. That not having the ideal body weight, average grades, a phone with not the latest model, or eyebrows not being on fleek, are awful, making you feel sad and inferior to the world, just because you don’t believe what they believe, or you weren’t born with the same color. You could be whatever and whoever you want, and you shouldn’t let opinions bring you down. Being so serious about life, like deeply thinking about how to impress all those people around you by being so perfect, is a no. If you’re one of the serious types because you think it’s cool, or the popular types because you think being famous makes you all pretty, it’s just putting on a show. Going with the flow and just letting all your imperfections hang out, those pimples, frizzy hairs, crooked teeth are what makes a person look wonderful. Those flaws are what make people feel human, and one wouldn’t want to look like a doll, plastic and shiny, in its little dollhouse. Life can dramatically change in the blink of an eye. Everything changes, and change is the only thing that’s consistent and never changing. Except if done with your own hands, you cannot control any of it. The things you are fretting over right now, causing all those lines on your forehead, might not even matter after 5 minutes. Like your home could be swept by of a disaster, someone you love could stop loving you, or your heart could stop beating and your lungs would stop breathing. You just never know. Because life is unpredictable, and one shouldn’t worry about all the things unnecessary and enjoy what life wants them to enjoy. Life is a rock standing unnecessarily in the middle of the road. It makes you trip and fall to the ground definitely with every intention of bringing you down to the dirt, all dirty and full of mud. But what matters is how you get up right away while laughing, your eyes shining bright with childlike interest, wiping the muck on your shirt, and ignoring the scratches on your face and the bruises on your knees. Life is about walking away from the rock, humming your favorite song and ready for the next rock that will trip you. People shouldn’t question every single thing that happens to them and let the world do what it want. They should be crazily fun. Not a terrible worrywart. And always have a smile on their face. They should be able to happily ask the ones sitting on the corner, “Why so serious?”. It’s true, life isn't a bed of roses, what matters is having fun in those thorns. |
