I finished reading Life Lessons from Bregson, a book I got from a book fair. It was interesting. I’ll post a review next. TBH. tough reads! But for now, I want to share a thought that stayed with me for a few days.
Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time on Instagram, mostly by scrolling reels My feed is full of videos on people’s daily routines while working from home or back from work. Cooking, cleaning, organizing. Just 30 seconds to a minute of someone else’s life. I like it. It looks aesthetic. But sometimes, I wonder, are these mundane things really that beautiful, or are they just made to look that way for the video? Watching it and living it are entirely different from each other right?
Maybe I’m drawn to these routines because mine has been off balance due to sickness. They’re like a warm blanket for me. Nice in the moment, but they don’t change anything. Maybe that’s okay for now. Watching them makes me reflect.
When I finished the last part of the book yesterday, idea on creation stood out or synced! Creation brings joy, but consumption only brings pleasure. That hit me. I’ve just been consuming content all week, chasing pleasure, not joy. But people who are truly joyful, they keep creating.
Just a thought. Might come back to it later.
Cheers
