I looooove life. I know, you are probably imagining me saying this in a "drunken just got home from a party and need sleep" voice but I'm not like that. I'm completely serious about this. I love what I'm doing, and I love adventure. Not knowing what happens next, but knowing it's going to be great, even if it doesn't feel like it at the moment. I just want to leave the world a better place than I found it. Staying happy would be nice too, I always hope for happiness. I just don’t want to grow up and become numb like I have seen happen to so many people. I want to play music and teach high school and I want to live, in love, in a tiny apartment in a huge city. I want to travel and see everything I can and meet as many people as I can. I want the heels of the last pair of shoes I own as a little old lady to be worn through as evidence of a life well spent. MY life. I love so many things. Like those big hugs that engulf your whole being (and theirs) and make you literally cry tears of joy. I love smiling at strangers and seeing their whole face just change. I love walking down the street feeling powerful and beautiful, even on a bad hair day. Simple things just make me light up, inside and out. That's why I shared that list with you a few days ago. I know, it was random and I didn't really explain. But I am now. I wanted to give you guys a few days to think about it. What do YOU love about life? What makes you smile, cry, get beautifully angry, scream for joy, giggle like a little kid? What givers you a hunger for life? Just think about it, because this life? It's a beautiful war. "You enter this world knowing you are loved and leave knowing the same. What happens in between can be dealt with."
People have asked, "where do you get your inspiration?" and "what posesses you to write the things you do?" I've thought long and hard because that's such a weighted question, but the answer - like as to many other questions our minds have to offer - is life. Living day to day with the intention of absorbing everything that is thrown at me, then stringing words together to form meaningful sentences. That's all it is. Life. But maybe some of you can't put life into words; that's fine. You have your own talent and you should persue it. Don't worry about it making others happy because this is your life and for one second it can be about you And you only.
I'm surprised you have taken the time out of what I can imagine is a horrifically busy life to read this. It is much appreciated. So hey, thanks! I hope you find some meaning is something that I said and can relate it to your everyday hardships that you may face. Happy Thursday!
