Romanticizing
Rain, a storm.
Thunder intrudes our thoughts. We wonder if our souls are meant to be torn.
What is are? If not oil on canvas, quill to parchment. Renaissance.
Maybe, tis no meaning, our souls.
A world as difficult as this one.
How are we to truly be free? How might our minds reach optimal, complicated serenity?
Answer thy question world; how might us souls thrive on a planet doomed of others?
Our one true, undying, confession, profession of love. Romance.
Beauty is to be observed and drawn, copied to share. A romantic connection. A connection–calm.
This world is livable, viable, if romanticized. Romance is driving.
Romance is sound, and peace in the best emotional outcome of havoc.
Now, chrysalism.
Peace of Mind.
Romanticizing is taking an event, a to-do list, an aspiration, and creating a trick of the mind that it is something pleasing to do. When romanticizing, take cleaning a toilet, you are indefinitely making your brain think that cleaning that toilet is an inspiring and significant thing to do. Romanticizing works best when the mind is in a state of calm, nothing is aggravating it, such as social media, politics, outer world issues; instead the mind has expelled those aggravations and is in a semi-serenity. The trick lies in the “how” of serene thought, for me personally, I am able to have this serenity when staring into the outside for about 30 seconds, and then playing classical music.
Today, is a rainy and gloomy day for almost every person I’ve encountered. They wish the rain to be expelled so the sun might fix their feelings. The embrace of weather they have not learned. I cannot pit much against this though, as I understand exactly as they feel. Though, in this moment of time, I stare out amongst the rain and treasure it. Rain is one of my favorite weathers, it is watering the Earth of its plants. It is a watering can, making sure our lush trees grow strong and our lily’s hop from the ground in delightful color. Today, or any day, a day where it rains and you gloom, don’t be in the rain, be with the rain. The rain is not meant to symbolize sadness, it is meant to symbolize anticipation. If that anticipation takes longer then you might expect, it is good to be in the rain and understanding that it’s purpose is to bath you in the water of Earth, not drown your emotional soul.
That, is a keen example of romanticizing. For most, that rain today needed to “go away”. For me, that rain was beauteous. It was captured with my Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. Each drop was a drink rather a doom. The action of romanticizing is entirely a mindset that is, honestly, hard to achieve. You cannot practice constant romanticizing, because there doesn’t always need to be happiness. A vital ingredient of human growth and mindset is the experience of a plethora of emotions. Yet, the idea of romanticizing and the action of taking it, can prove a gloomy state to a state of calm.
Romanticizing doesn’t necessarily bring you happiness, it instead brings you peace. Readers, the emotion of being happy isn’t something that is normal to consistency. Seeking constant happiness is a mistake, and all that practice does is drain you. Physically even, as our mentality is often determining our physical well-bring. The idea of always being happy is an insanity, as it would actually, be quite boring. Imagine being happy at all times and if not, seeking it again. How exhausting. Truly, the human mind doesn’t search for “happiness” it searches for serenity. Being calm in our state of mind unlocks our knowledge in both statistical, analytical, and emotional knowing. In peace of mind, we are more alert, we are more passionate, and we are more in tune with our mind than ever. Our mind becomes a tool, a friend.
Often, people claim that romanticizing your life is a delusional practice. That’s denial my friend, pent up emotion that is out to crusade the idea of emotion serenity. That rebellion of thought is a course mind that is in a state of great confusion and denial, that emotional thinking is blockading the potential of calmness. Romanticizing isn’t an exercise meant to make you seem in-human, it is an exercise to relieve stress. Anxiety in the mind is eased in this practice, as romanticizing helps us to re-wire our thinking. It is a simple trick of the minds anxious tendencies. We relate the ideas of our anxious thoughts to a more excepting one. We transform the minds current thought to one of liking. Hatred of cleaning our room, we pretend that we’re a servant that loves their job, anxious about our homework, we pretend we are a bookworm that thrives off of accomplishment. These simple tricks of the mind tend to delete the negative emotions that so easily embed themselves into our mind. They instead turn the negative thought into one that isn’t happy, but calm once more. We don’t seek to feel happy in romanticizing, rather we seek to return to a calm state of mind.
With the persistence of today’s outer influences, human minds are prone to immediate anxiousness and negative thinking. We get overwhelmed quickly, and some of us cannot proceed a task. Some of us shove down the anxiety until it erupts. The best course of action is to take a few moments to romanticize the events of your life. You’re struggling with bills, pretend you are out seeking your dream job, and this is the journey to get there, the struggle before the break. Our brains love to pretend, it’s what we did as children, and it is an escape of our current situations. Playing that romanticizing pretend for a few moments is what drives our brains course back to calmness. We aren’t forgetting what is bringing us anxiety, rather we are now calm about the event because it is now just another swerve in our life. We stay calm through the tasks, and we perform them without thought. We launch our brains into autopilot. The state of calmness isn’t one that is hypnotic in robotic ways, it is still emotional. Instead, it is emotional in pleasantry. Romanticizing is bringing us back to a state of serendipitous calm. Romance, the root term, is what connects of people together. Not necessarily romance in a kissing and affectionate way, but also romantic in a connection. The connection of people is romantic, and with that romance wee have a happiness with one another. Romanticizing returns us to feel whole again. Our emotions are leveled, they are being monitored and extinguished. In states of romanticizing, we’re taking negativity, locking it from being the center of attention, and distinguishing it in the back of our minds.
We achieve literal and most necessary peace.
Au revoir,
