    • Give me someone who lives for the weekend, and ADMITS IT.

    • someone who lives for the weekend, and admits it
      I admire someone who refuses to go chasing after a lifestyle that simply isn't theirs. I admire someone who can come home after a day of whatever it is they do, and is not making up excuses about why their life isn't more exciting or fulfilling. I admire someone who doesn't think themselves too creative or too brilliant to appreciate and embrace how incredible life actually is.

    The world would be a better place if most of us were like this.But do you think such a person who is so stable and seems to 'not think outside the box' would be very exciting?

    I'd say, if anything, this someone thinks more "outside the box" than anyone else. Sure, thinking outside the box is commonly seen as thinking unconventionally or differently and from a new perspective. It's smart, creative and novel thinking. Most importantly, I think, is the idea that to think outside the box is to eliminate false constraints. You know, going beyond that imaginary boundary that does exist in order to solve your problem, or figure out whatever. They key word is false, though. People certainly (and quite often) do have this inherent potential that's waiting to be actualized, but never is because they don't bother to work against the false constraints. At the very same time, it has to be acknowledged that there exist constraints that aren't false; factors that have the ability to hinder a person no matter how hard they try to work against them. The person I admire can come to this conclusion, and can appreciate this fact, and if anything, this acquired knowledge would give them the freedom to be a happy, exciting person. Because they're not preoccupied with achieving this lifestyle society has deemed ideal, they'd be able to step back, in the life they've come to appreciate as their own, and really live and enjoy the life that is theirs.I'm just tired of the materialistic mindset (that I think Consumerism has inspired) of a lot of people today, and how selfish desires for material goods have replaced the desire for living a "good" life. People are preoccupied with living lives full of money and cars and vacations and sure those things are nice, but when you lose yourself to working a 60 hour week to make that possible, and find yourself slowly losing any relationship you had with your kids, it's not worth it.In short, I'm tired of the dominance that has been placed on having rather than being. Why chase and chase after this life you want so badly to have, when you could appreciate the life you have and truly live it.
    P.S. Sorry for that massive rant.
