I Want Too Much And Nothing At All

I want too much and nothing at all

- penned by j. medna (2024)

Let’s leave the fantasy for the films, books and sappy love songs.

Let’s fall in love with the intricacies of our own very real lives which are sometimes magical but most times dull and complicated.

Count your blessings.

Idc how often you’ve heard this saying and rolled your eyes in a “yeah, yeah, I know” way. Idc how with each reciting the phrase may have been carved more and more vacant.

At any one point this phrase may become individually significant and profound.

Imagine your life without the things you take for granted for a day. Realize how fortunate you are. Express gratitude even over the small things. Write it down if you must as a physical reminder to ground your pessimistic mind.
