4 Fantasies That Are Already a Reality
Hello everyone from KTHT, I’ve missed writing on here, it has been a while because in our country we celebrated Easter these days and I also had the little flu, but it’s all fine now. This must’ve been the longest introduction ever, lol, let’s get to the point!
Here are 4 things I fantasize about, yet, I already have them in my life:
1. Family
Since my childhood I’ve rarely had the feeling of a “family”, that cliche thing when you sit at a table with all your family, whether it’s a celebration or just a family dinner, I rarely felt that, and when I did feel it, it was not with my blood family. My parents got divorced when I was a little kid, then my mom went to Spain so she can provide more for us, and here I was all alone with my grandmother, whom, I cannot say filled that void left by having no “family”. But regardless, in the present days, I can’t complain about it, I formed my life in such ways that I can still have that feeling, I have a daughter who fills me up with joy, I have a girlfriend and her family in my life as well, which, at this point in my life, I can say I am the closest I can get to the feeling.
2. Money
Everyone wants to be a fucking billionaire, innit? (that phrase sounds so good), well, guess what, only a few of us can do it and I’m not one of them, or at least not yet, life is full of surprises. The thing is, if we live our life only by that factor and desire, we will miss out on all the things this life gives us. I may not be a billionaire, but I do live a decent life and I can’t complain about it, I can still go out for dinner, I can still take my daughter out for some fun, I can still put food on my table (or maybe order some KFC), the point is, I can afford my life with the money I provide. We should always aspire for more and have big dreams, but let’s not take for granted what we already have ’cause we might lose all of it in the process. I am experiencing this right now actually and it’s not easy to handle!
3. Love and appreciation
This is another point where I underestimate myself, I can’t justify my depressions, my thoughts, it’s all my fault because I don’t do so much about fixing them, I just handle them and expect them to go, which is not the way to go. I always wanted to be loved and appreciated, but guess what, BY THE WRONG PEOPLE, why do we do that? Why do I wanna impress the world sometimes when my daughter is impressed only by my presence? Why do we want to impress the wrong people when the right ones don’t need to be impressed, because they already are and you don’t need to make a big effort for it, and most of all, this may again sound cliché, the one you must impress, love, and appreciate the most is YOU!
4. Health
We always look in the mirror and only see our flaws (not me, I am a fucking narcissist, but still… I’m joking), I always focus on my flaws even if I see some qualities as well. I think “I wish I had a better body, better teeth, a better smile, better, better, better”, yet we rarely think “I am so grateful I don’t have cancer” or anything similar, we should visit some orphanages sometimes to see how much of life we take for granted, how much we take our health for granted, Africa is a very great example of it, perhaps some documentaries about it should boost your gratitude. It’s sad somehow, not that we have to look down to feel better, it’s sad that there is someone down who you can look at and feel better. I wish the world would be equal, I wish the world would not be ignorant of its suffering neighbors, some of them eat in the mud the leftovers from the one in the suit. I’m done, no politics here!
Go and give a big hug to the ones you call family.
Don’t stress about money or being a billionaire, if you can put some food on your plate and you’re still able to read and write on medium with a membership, that means you can afford life.
You are loved and you are definitely appreciated, but most of all, stop impressing the wrong people, they don’t give a single fuck about you, they will only gossip about you when you’re down!
Stop taking health for granted and just have some healthy habits, embrace your looks, you got this, go on dates and read books!
Thank you Diana C. for this amazing prompt, I really needed it, I took so many things off my chest!
