I am an inquisitive person with a taste for adventures. I have a desire to learn more daily and this unique desire sets me on the path of exploration. Quick question - have you ever made a promise to yourself and felt you would betray life if you did not fulfill it? I have. I made a decision when I was just a little girl not to live a mundane life but rather an exotic one.
Amidst my friends and schoolmates then, I listened more than I talked. I would only interject with questions. I would stare wide-eyed, drinking in every word, expression, gestures and acts, trying to understand life and human beings. I noticed that there were some individuals who were content to live simple lives. They believed that was all there was to life. A simple life is great, no doubt. Everyone is entitled to their choice.
However, I believe there is much more to life. I was young when I knew that a simple life would be unsatisfactory for me. I made a decision then to explore life to the fullest and experience things myself.
I chose to be different; I chose to live an exotic lifestyle. This does not necessarily mean a sophisticated, privileged lifestyle. No. An exotic life is choosing to be intriguingly and uniquely different. This includes making smart choices and standing up for all I believe in. It means letting my choices take me on a different path, a path in tune with my passions rather than move with the crowd. This is exotic, and not in a weird way.
We cannot all live life in the same way. We are different by nature. Instead of embracing our uniqueness, we'd rather want to look like or live like another person. The person we emulate made a choice to be outstanding. You can do the same.
What if we all looked, talked and acted the same? Would it not be boring? If we are all raised in the same environment, influenced by the same experiences and views, humanity would be at a stand still. Or at best, our growth would be warped. Our world is this advanced because we chose to be dynamic.
The beauty of the exotic life is recognizing and appreciating our differences, our uniqueness and exploring the possibilities available to us.
It's not too late to live.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
You reminded me of these lyrics
Yes, most of us just to live quiet lives, and most of us, loud ones.
An individual's life no matter which side he chooses is all exotic to him
But for you, being different and outstanding is considered exotic
Which of course is a good thing because, life would be really boring, if we were the same in everything
I couldn't agree more. Thanks for your thoughtful comment. 🙂
I think trying to be the same most times won't work best for us rather seeing different things and how it is done and we trying to explore it in another dimension and be the best we want to be. It's all a matter of finding opportunities and making use of them when the time is right so we don't end up disappointing ourselves of not living the life we want for ourselves.
It's been a long while ma. How are you doing?
Well said. Our differences sets us apart from each other. We should explore life in the way our hearts lead us.
I appreciate your kind comment. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
There is a line from the classic movie, Mame: "Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death". Not you! Live!
Certainly, that's an authentic line - life is indeed a banquet, we should enjoy it! Thank you. 🙂
