A lot of people consider me to be the authority on everything that is awesome. I cannot say that I blame those people. But what is it, this awesome? Is it a state of being? Is it a noun? An adjective? An adverb? A dangling participle? These things...I don't know what they are...but I do know that I can vaguely explain what awesomeness actually is.
Awesome is being alive, first and foremost. You might think that your life sucks...but trust me, it beats NOTHINGNESS...which is what you would be if you did not exist....
So your life, that ball of sucky, that incredibly annoying thing that you wake up to every morning...well, its actually kind of special.
And, if you think that your life is kind of boring...and like I said a while ago, these things are RELATIVE, you actually are kind of boring....you are also simultaneously AWESOME!
A couple of awesome things...first kisses....sunny summer afternoons...country time lemonade....complexity....simplicity....Existentialism....Faith.....Christmas......freedom.....cold beer....Slim Jims....television.....weekends.....Telemundo.....freedom of speech.....good conversations.....friends.....love.....football.....Literature....blogging....self help.....Felson Mitchell......your mother....
I could go on and on.
To fully appreciate awesomeness, you must stop and appreciate yourself. If you are a people pleaser....you will never be fulfilled. But at the same time, if you are Paris Hilton, you will never be fulfilled. The trick is to find a happy balance. Please others....and please yourself. Go ahead. Please yourself. Once you have pleased yourself, feel free to please someone else. You cannot please someone else to your best ability if you have not first pleased yourself. Think about it. Get back to me.
