Stoicism is it?

 

Dear Journal,

        Lately I had pondered countless times on the significance of curiosity and caring about what others will think of me. And so with a sudden epiphany under a tree with sun beaming through my eyes and wind passing by with the thoughts I once had, and as I looked at the corner of the bush and the dogs I was with I took a deep breath and looked at the sky suddenly something heavy came off my chest. When I just stopped looking who passed by or what they were doing or if they were looking at me and such and so I continued walking the dogs and did not looked back. I focused on my view with the greens ahead of me and with a sudden movement on my peripheral view I noticed someone coming over but, I did not take a peep back and just looked ahead until it came over and in front of me it was a granny with her umbrella. The old lady seemed serene and it felt new to me that I also felt the same way in that moment and did not look anywhere else but focused on my errand and went home, it felt so energizing about not caring about people's lives nevertheless their eyes on me. I never knew that once I thought curiosity and interest that once were the highlight of my life was greatly hindering of me of what really was in front of me, that I imagined countless encounters that is quite frankly delusions. With this level of mindfulness I take it with a bitter spoon full and gobble it up and make my thoughts enriched over this new encountered lesson.
