Do not knock life’s monotony! Do not sit and mope and think where I’m I headed to. Overdose yourself and get lost in the here and now! Drown yourself in the present. Inhale and immerse yourself in every situation…insert the overused cliché… live life to the fullest for tomorrow you do it again!
Do not over-analyze for then depression creeps in. However the right here and right now that can never be monotonous. Sure you are waking up again! Sure you are brushing your teeth again. Sure your friend has kept you waiting again. Sure you are in a low mood today and cannot wait to go home and sleep knowing damn well that tomorrow when you wake up you won’t be that much better! But by golly it’s the first time you are doing that today! Sure you will wash the plate many times…it will be clean and you will use it and you shall wash it again…and again and again…
Life is a mystery that we shall never fully fathom. I think it’s not up to us to explain it or to understand it, but it’s up to us to live it. It’s not healthy to sit and complain about the monotony, but it’s healthy to embrace its repetitive state. That variation comes via living! Monotony is not a bad thing. Monotony is life and life is monotonous.

There shall be deadlines and they shall be met. There shall be good days and there shall be bad days. Sun will shine, rain will drop, leaves will fall and wind shall blow. You will laugh and you will cry. Friends shall come and go some will always be there, same for relatives. Only variable is age or time…and the funny thing about it is; that as you grow older you realize the monotony comes faster and harsher. When they say ‘Reality Bites!’ I believe it refers to the realization of monotony!
We will never be content. We will never be full happy or fully relaxed. There will be ups and downs. Good and bad luck! We will never get a break from life; we shall keep on living day in day out. You may get sick and reality jumpstarted back into perspective but it still remains the same ol' same ol'. Day in, day out, same days, same months…
Monotony of Life.
By Dave Wamiti
When they said the best days of your life were back then in your younger days, they sure knew what they were yapping on about! Typical with life, with kilos of irony, you realize this when it’s too late as is with most of life’s lessons.
Many times we’d kill to live in our pasts or even fantasize about reliving those days, but life can never be that kind. Life is a one way road and once you pass a junction, you are on a different path altogether.
