RE: The winter that may not come at all
I've been thinking about my belongings and what to do with them. I hate the idea of people poking their nose into my private things, so I feel like I should clear everything out while I still can.
It’s the same feeling that came up with the winter clothes, but in a different way. It’s a sense that I dare not look too far ahead. Illnesses creep up on us not just physically, but mentally. It’s a joy-limiter, not because we feel unwell, but because of the uncertainty and worries about so many things.
But we have to remind ourselves that we can't let these feelings steal our joy. We need to live our lives to the fullest, no matter how much longer we have. We don't know what the future holds, so we have to seize the joy we have today.
You are so right❣️ I realized this in the last few days and set about sorting out this mess myself. I can't keep worrying about tomorrow, no one knows anything about tomorrow. It seems even stupid of me, like a lack of intelligence, not even wisdom but elementary intelligence. One of the basic rules of the Earth game is not to think too much. Otherwise, one gets bogged down. Even if one has a lot of problems, one has to stop thinking about them, find some kind of distraction, whatever it is, so that one can continue.
I've thought about my belongings too, and I'm glad I don't own much. But there are some diaries, for example, that are of the type: "Burn without reading." 😅 Instructions will have to be left for those too, or I'll have to destroy them myself. I don't want anything of me left on this earth. Well, maybe there will still be my photos scattered across the internet media space, but that's not such a "pain to die for" when I will be already dead.🤭
It's natural to worry about things. If only we can not overdo it. I'm still learning.
I've just thrown away some old photos. At least I have one less thing to worry about. Not that the photos are bad but the thought of others going through my stuffs makes me uncomfortable.
