On mundanity

What is so mundane, you ask (maybe)?

This is my first post in this blog, and I have decided to start it off with that word. Why, maybe? I do not know exactly actually. I read this word somewhere, recently, and when I was asked by blogger.com to name my blog, the word was the first that came across my mind. 

mun·dane

ˌmənˈdān/

adjective

1. 1.

   lacking interest or excitement; dull.

   "seeking a way out of his mundane, humdrum existence"

   synonyms:

   "the boundaries of the mundane world"

   synonyms:

That is how google defined mundane. While google defined mundane to be such boring word, I digress.

Mundane is a fact, I believe. You cannot name everything 'legendary', 'joyful', or 'one of a kind', since those kinds of moments are intrinsically special. It does not happen so often. Those big moments are indeed special that way. However, the mundane things that happen, aside from the big moments, are very often than not, the ones shaping your whole life. In many cases, those mundane things are truly the ones that matter, in the end of the day. 

Don't believe me? Well, let these songs give you some clues.

1. I Remember- Mocca

I remember...
The way you read your books,
Yes I remember
The way you tied your shoes,
Yes I remember
The cake you loved the most,
Yes I remember
The way you drank you coffee,

Indeed those mundane little things are the one that we remember the most, the one most easily to make us happy. It is everywhere--we just have to notice it. Once you do, though, it will no longer be just mundane. It is mundane happiness.
