Today I calculated that the average human lifespan is 30,000 days. This is in developed countries. I thought that this was very little and should be appreciated every day. On this day, do what I like, what my soul wants.
I lived my first 12,000 days unconsciously. I was often in a hurry, running, I was afraid of missing something and being late somewhere. Then I read smart books and realized that I needed to slow down and stop. This doesn't always work out. But today, about the 17250th day of my life, I succeeded.
I was traveling by train last night. I was alone in the compartment. I often love this state of being alone and going somewhere. I traveled 300 kilometers by train and paid $8 for a ticket.
In the morning I woke up alone, in the apartment where I spent my childhood, there was no one in the apartment. I turned on the laptop, read the news and began working on the Hive-Engine exchange. I worked and read posts on Hive and economic news at the same time.
It was a cool morning outside (+15 degrees) and the trees were moving their leaves. I planted one of the largest trees with my parents 35 years ago. It was also cool in the apartment, I covered myself with a warm blanket. I worked as usual, like on other days. Rearranged buy and sell orders in 8 trading pairs on Hive-Engine.
Suddenly the bright autumn sun shone outside the window. On the south side of the house, where the bedroom is, half the room was flooded with bright rays. I stopped. I stopped working.
I slowly walked into the bedroom and extended my hands into the sun's rays. I felt warm. Like in childhood, I thought. Sunlight illuminated the entire bed near the window. I took a Soviet book from 1991 and lay down on the bed.
It was a collection of fantasy stories that I read 33 years ago or 12,000 days ago. I opened the book and plunged into happiness.
Happiness is always here and now.
