Appreciation for the simple things

(load the video first, then read the post while playing the video! that way, you'll appreciate the music too!)

Before I took the removal exams today, I searched my music library for a certain song that kept playing in my head ever since I woke up this morning. It's title is Kokoroe sung by TRIPLANE. Basically, in my point of view, the song is about finding yourself as the seasons passes by; and with that, you reach your goal. The song is from Major season 6 (the first kokoroe was from season 1, and was sung by road of major), and is one of my personal favorites.

While taking the removal exams, the song keeps playing in my head as I try to hear answers honestly answer the questions before me (believe me, I tried, but I just couldn't resist listening :D). By the time that I've finished answering the exam, the intensity of the LSS (last song syndrome) got even worse to the point that even in in the seminar that was scheduled after the exam (10:00 am-12:00 noon), the song kept playing in my head! It was too bad that I didn't remember the lyrics for this song (I'm a j-rock/j-pop kind of guy), but still...!

Anyways, the LSS stopped when we went to our "rustbucket" (A.K.A the dorm) and from there, while I was doing what Mr. Bear (who almost accidentally slashed a certain someone) tasked me to do, I pondered about the little, unappreciated things that I've been using, remembering, and doing while the semester neared it's end.

For some reason, people in today's world tend to appreciate the little things in life that we experience in our daily lives. By the time that we even do, we regret things that we should have done, and under-appreciate those errors that we did to learn. The simple things in life (personally) makes our lives more interesting, although it isn't that obvious at first. Although, we shouldn't always dwell on them, since dwelling on something for an extended time slowly kills our everyday lives.

And with that, this onlooker (who has been branded today from "turtle" to "Serpent") now asks the other audiences this:

Have you stopped to appreciate the simpler things in life?
