What do I value? Can this just be a series of tangible things that are needed to fill a void in our lives. So what are we actually looking for when we say I value these things and I need these things in my life? The perception of value is that it gives us something more than the desired aspect of just what we see. When we see a watch, ring, necklace or something of a certain value that we have a history with, we immediately describe it as something of a sentimental value. So as these things I accumulate in my house become more and more a part of my life I perceive them as things of value. To value them I could say that I would need to utilize them everyday. My perceived value of something is that in which I get multiple uses out of. Tools, clothes, bed, maybe a beer opener. Computer, iPad, phone? When people break their phones, they can’t get to the store fast enough in order to get another one. The thought of missing out on a tweet, text, or the world around them is just utter chaos inside their head. Tangible things have different values for each individual that utilizes them. Value is defined as: the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something. So what is important, useful, or of worth to you. Careful when you think of these things. When it comes to utility, usefulness, you may end up being better off not having something that you get many uses out of. You probably use your vacuum once a week. If you have pets, maybe 2 or 3 times a week. How much time is that to you to be doing something worth your time? Spending more time with family? Is time more important to you? Up to you. Would a house cleaner once or twice a month be worth more than you doing it yourself. I could sell everything I own besides my computer and truck and be completely content with just writing for a long time. Don’t think I’m crazy, I enjoy nice things as well. I say my tuck and computer, then I tend to think, welp I need clothes for a date, of course running shoes and clothes for the gym, tools to fix a light fixture. What makes me laugh is talking to women about how they dated a guy who never owned tools. When something broke in the house he would always have to call someone for even the smallest shit. Fixing light fixtures, light switch plates, or even just hanging a picture. They had said nothing made them dry up faster than a man who can’t use a drill or hammer. They got rid of the dating app and just started going to home depot looking for men. Hahaha, now gentleman I won’t tell you that you have to be a tool guy, so take that for what value it is to you. These things tend to creep up on us, so I personally try and simplify my life as much as possible. I hate clutter and I have a ton of hobbies. Hunting, fishing, scuba, carpentry, guns, blogging, hiking, my dog. So I minimize every so often to make sure I don’t have something taking time away from something that is more important to me.
Now those are tangible things, but what about things that you cannot put a price tag on? Time, family, Boots!!, just kidding, peace of mind, quiet, patience, independence, hugs, kisses, someone telling you you’re pretty, or handsome, or great in bed. This is Bangov, so good sex is just a spice of life. All of these things can be taken into consideration. All these things are very important, and in a way these are the ingredients for getting the most out of life in whatever hell you choose. If you want to be held more, if you want less noise, maybe you grew up in a busy city and before you take a chainsaw to Starbucks because they got your latte wrong I think it would be an enlightening change of pace for everyone to take a FUCKING MOMENT, to think about the things that they value in life and make them priority. Go around the table, and communicate that to the family, or if you live alone, don’t matter, write them down and make a plan of how these will be implemented in your life. Some of you fucks will make time for you to play video games, watch the football game. That’s fine, but for the other things that you may be lacking, just say hey maybe today I will sit in the closet where it is dark and quiet. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe you’ll grab your wife and kiss her, maybe she’ll want you right there on the rug. WHO KNOWS? If you value your alone time, maybe let the family know and you just have a beer or glass of wine in a room in the house. Cannot tell you how many times a drive at night when nobody is on the road has saved me from choking someone in line at the grocery store. What I value is: Loyalty, communication, deep breaths, condoms, peace of mind, good teachers, silence, work, music, independence, good sex, time, smiles, laughter, comedy, my health, blankets, and last but not least different perspectives. With all of these My life tends to be pretty fucking sweet with little twists and turns in between. What do you value? I value those who read this and actually want to improve their way of life. Bangov Actual, out.
