I woke up yesterday with a weird question in my head so I decided to seek answers. I needed to know what made humans so different from other animals asides from the obvious facts surrounding our more developed minds and all that. I needed to understand why I felt so confused all the time yet other animals seemed to just survive on their instincts and shit like that.
After a few hours of reading random articles about mammals that are like humans, I just concluded that life isn't really meant to be as complicated as we make it. I read about how different animals are born into packs, they mature, split up and create new packs and then come back into the fold to live under the leadership of the oldest in the pack.
Wasn't the first time I had come across that information but for some reason, reading about it at that point in time just made so much sense to me. It made me really understand some questions I had unanswered in my head at the time and I felt content.
Life isn't meant to be complicated. It's unfortunate for us humans that we don't exactly have as much of a structure as most animals do but in our own way, we still make things work. We try, fail, succeed, die, give birth and keep going.
We go through life with no handbook. We don't know who's getting it right or wrong, but what we do know is that everyone is going to die. We do things every day to give life some meaning but in the end, we just die and let someone else take up the shit we left behind.
I concluded that all that matters at every point in time is the present. What's going on right now, what your plans are, who you want to be with and all that? That's all that matters.
I concluded that as long as I find happiness in a particular situation, that should be the most important thing. I know in a few days, weeks, or months I'll feel a little different but for now, this is how I feel.
