Comfort Zone

For the most part, our adult lives are spent trying to establish, obtain, and maintain a comfort zone. What this comfort zone is is of course relative to each person. But it's that place where we feel the most comfort. (Duh, I know) It's that place where we can not only be ourselves but can fell completely safe in all environments. I like to call it the "blankey" effect. You know, when little kids have that one "blankey" that they take everywhere because it's the one that feels the best and always keeps them warm. That's the equivalent of a comfort zone.

For some people this comes from money. For some it's love. Maybe family. Maybe that dream job.


Whatever it is, the only way you ever really truly aknowledge that you have found it, is when you lose it. But once it is lost it doesn't have to be gone forever. Sometimes things are taken away from you to make you realize their signifigance. But that doesn't mean that you should give up. It is now just time to get your priorities in order. It's time to start thinking like the adult that you need to be and no longer like the child you once were.

Personally, I have come to the conclusion that I have more than one comfort zone. I have family, music, friends and love. Not necessarily in that order. Honestly, I don't know if I could break those down into a hierarchy of order of importance. Of course family would be the highest though.
But you know what... I think my true comfort zone.... My true utopia... Is a mix and balance of all four. And maybe that's why I feel so uncomfortable right now. Because I'm missing at least one of those elements. And since I am quite content with my family, music, and friends.... I guess love is what is lost. But if that's the case, I guess it would be selfish of me to complain about being 75% comfortable in a world like ours. But I still would like to feel complete.

So I guess I just live on trying to establish, obtain, and maintain my comfort zone. I hope you all do the same.


Live, love & learn!
