Hello world. I am currently in bed and I just remembered that I needed to do my daily blog post, but some days I just lack the ideas to post anything substantial. Today is one of those days, and while I don’t really have much to talk about I figured I’d stick to my goal of trying to post every single day. I have this series in my physical journal called writing down my thoughts, and unlike the title suggests, this is probably the 4th or 5th one that ive done so far. Its a good exercise to get a grip on all of thing thoughts that run rampant in my mind throughout the day and helps me practice putting those things on paper. Anyways, today was a great day, certaintly no complaints on my behalf. I’ve finally gathered up some belongings that might have some value and am planning on selling them. It just reminded me of that one bible verse of that one man who was rich and very well off as he was asking Jesus what he could do to get into heaven. And Jesus was basically like, sell everything that you have and go out of your way to help people. I feel like that’s basically where i’m at in life at the moment. Also, there’s this clip i’ve been rewatching over and over because I’ve found that it resonates deeply with my inner being. The clip in question is the very last scene from the Spongebob movie. Everyone ridicules me when I tell them that this is my all time favorite movie. But the message hits deep especially when you realize how true it is in the real world. If you’ve never seen it before I highly recommend, but to give you a brief summary, Spongebob is sent on a quest to save Mr Krabs from being smited off the face of Bikini Bottom after being framed for stealing King Neptunes crown. Spongebob basically goes through the underwater equivalent of O block, through a treacherous trench filled with monsters 100 times his size, fights off a highly trained assassin and a literal human in a subnautic suit, and ends up saving the entire town from Planktons reign of anarchy. In the very last scene, Spongebob has an incredibly inspiring monologue in which he accepts the truth about who he really is. Despite everyone placing their doubts on him, calling him names, and even denying him a promotion that was so rightfully his, he managed to do what 99% of those people couldn’t even fathom. And although it is a kids movie and Spongebob defintely had some crazy plot armor, there is meaning behind this whole scene. There are times when we feel like we aren’t capable of doing something, especially when surrouneded by people who tell you that you cant. In spongebob’s case, he felt like giving up right before going through the trench. It makes it even harder when people give you shit for being who you are. For spongebob, it was people telling him that he’s a goofball, and a wingnut, and a knuckle head mcspazatron.” I feel like i’m reminded time and time again that I am just like spongebob. I am incredibly naive, I talk and act like a kid at times, practically harmless due to my nature, and it would make sense that all of this makes me weak compared to the rest of my generation. For the longest time I believed this. I let the opinions of others squander my potential. Time and time again ive turned my back and gave up at the trenches of my life. Very soon I will face a trench that everyone is saying I’m incapable of surviving. Yet just like spongebob, I accept who I am. And im not gonna let anyone else tell me what I can and cant do.
