For Granted

I’ve had this talk with my best friend before.

A talk of how sometimes you find yourself looking at your reflection in the mirror.

“God, I need some sleep.”, you’d say.

“I’m so over these bags. Why am I even up this late.”, you’d complain.

A minute or so passes of you just staring at the details of your face, the details that separate you from others.

Another minute goes by and suddenly, you’re not staring at yourself anymore.

You realize.

You realize that God created this vast world.

You realize that it’s massive, almost endless.

You realize that the universe has no beginning and no end.

You realize that you’re a part of this miracle.

And suddenly you’re small problems seem pathetic.

And you smile at how you’re blessed to witness this fantasy that is life.

“Woah, I seriously took this for granted.”
