Status Quo
A friend asked me, how has my life been lately. I just replied, “status quo”, no high points or low points. I didn’t know what she thought at that time but it made me think as well if status quo is good or bad.
Well in my case now, I think I welcome a status quo. I guess having experienced so much high points and low points in my life, being in a status quo-state of life is good. Being in status quo does not mean that everything is going well in my life, “well” is not actually the right word nor is the term “smoothly”. Hmm… i guess I define it as being a state where my life just goes on as it should be. It just flows just as the river flows. It unfolds on its own. I live on the present. Not too anxious about the future or too absorbed in the past. Not to be mistaken though on not planning ahead for the future or forgetting the lessons of the past. I just learned to appreciate life as it unfolds. Truly experiencing the present as it happens. This way, I appreciate more my life and the people around me.
Status quo, I guess, is another term for having a boring life for some. But if boring means being stable, then having a boring life isn’t bad at all. My life now is very predictable. It just concerns home-office-close friends-relationships-God. There lies nothing outside of these.
I don’t know if it’s a sign of maturity but I just like my life the way it is now.
