Daily Year of Yes – 115

Year of Yes – 115

I used to watch a lot of TV. At least 3 hours a day. I used to watch it when I was in middle school as I did my homework, in college as I studied, and long after for many many years as I worked or did art.

I used to love the Oscars. I would wake up at the crack of dawn in Turkey as a little.kid just to watch them live.

And here I am tonight sitting at home, reading a book during the Oscars. I haven’t had cable tv in three years and I don’t even know who’s nominated.

This isn’t about the Oscars, nor is it about TV. It’s about things that seemed such an ingrained part of my day to day life that I couldn’t imagine a life where I wasn’t doing them. At the time, they felt like a core part of who I am.

But now they are not. And I’ve changed. And what matters to me has changed. And it might seem like a small thing that I don’t watch TV or the Oscars but it’s an indication.that anything can change. That my life could look completely different in a few years.

And likely will.

It’s a reminder to both not hold things too tightly and to enjoy them while they are here. Because while I have no idea what tomorrow will look like, I do know it won’t look like this.

Change is the only constant.

Yes to embracing change and yes to embracing life. Don’t miss TV one little bit.
