Unbothered😋

Hello! It's  been waaaaaay too long since I've  posted anything aaaaalllll because of this darn never ending (previously) much anticipated period called ADULTING! One day I'll let you in on just what that means in my world. But, more interestingly I am also quite late in commenting on this rather 'new sounding' yet familiar word that seems to be in vogue over the past few months (or longer?)again mainly on the various social media platforms.

Unbothered;The caption for many posts/comments/tweets from usually a young person expressing their lack of concern or interest in a particular would-be stimulant. Probably replacing arcache expressions like 'whatever',it is usually particularly directed at something generally meant to incite a negative reaction or effect.

But, I can't help but wonder, are we really as unbothered as we think or claim to be?
Think about it. You had a bad day, a co-worker pissed you the hell off (daily occurrences for some of us) or some misfit said something to try to 'bring you down'. You may or may not have responded but blew off some steam and quickly dismissed it, but hours later it's your new post/tweet/caption to your 'serious face' selfie for the day. As 'unbothered' as you are, you sure took alot of energy and time into taking an angry but cute pout to show you're 'pissed but okay' and allowed that one encounter to sum up your day...Just how 'unbothered' are we by these daily life trivias?

I for one am a classic panic-button -tell-it-as-it- is but a worry bunny kinda person. I sometimes spend alot of time reminiscing, revisiting and regurgitating things. I most certainly dont respond to every single  barking dog as we all know that that gets you absolutely nowhere and is often a waste of otherwise useful energy. But, I am learning day by day how to hear and not hear and to pay less attention to the different levels of 'pettyness' I sometimes encounter. And trust me, I'm doing great! (Well most days🙄😉 lol )

At the end  of the day, (literally)
there are really few things worth thinking about and those include providing an answer to questions about what I could have done better, if my daily goals were acheived and what I learnt from the day. Not to sit and imagine how the various combinations of questionable personalities did that vs this...No. Higher heights is what I seek. To always keep elevating myself in every way possible. Personal and spiritual growth and higher intellectual and educational gains.

Strive to be truly unbothered by the many distractors along the way. You may slow down but never stop. Pause but only to breathe, count to ten and move on. Let no one get close enough or get the joy of bringing you down or 'getting you out'. Guard your world, guard you.
