The Moral of The Story
Boy oh boy.
Life is an utterly turbulent, exhilarating, breath-stealing, awe-inspiring ride.
You will experience the Mt Everest of highs and the deepest ocean of lows.
There are inevitable moments that are going to occur that will rip your heart to shreds.
There are times, where you will just want to drop everything and run and run and run and leave it all behind. Never stopping to look behind you.
Things will occur that will shove you down to your knees and there you will fall, drowning in the pouring rain that might even be spilling from your eyes not the sky, who knows?
And god, you will feel as if every single bone in your body is breaking, like the muscles and veins are unwinding and snapping open, every thing you are, is spilling out. Your atoms dissolving in to nothing.
BUT GUESS WHAT!
HOW YOU REACT TO LIFE'S CIRCUMSTANCES AND WHAT YOU FEEL IS ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE!
These times will hit and they will hit HARD, but they WILL pass. As avalanches, as thunderstorms, as flooding rivers, these hard feelings of loss, disappointment, heartache and sorrow will pass.
Then a new day will come.
A new dawn.
A new sunrise.
And as the warm yellow ink spreads across the sky, you'll realise that if life didn't have these shit times, then quite frankly, it would be boring. There would be no perspective.
Because when you're on your knees, the concrete digging in and scarring your skin, and you're about to wash away in own tears, you sure do feel alive. You are simply being human, with a wonderful beating heart, that pounds on, despite the many hits and blows it receives.
And isn't that something remarkable...
...to be alive.
It's truly remarkable.
The dark lows are what make the highs EXTRAORDINARY! You only have to trust that the bad times are there to teach you important things. They will make you stronger and help you become the person you are destined to be!
Because you know what, there are ALSO going to be times when you feel on top of the world. Where you find yourself skipping down the street on a sweet summers day, smiling for no other reason than the fact that you are simply happy.
There will be moments where you figure out your life's purpose and you boogie down supermarket aisles and serenade strangers.
You will make memories that leave your whole body feeling like sunlight and your gentle glow will spill out as laughter and warm everyone around you.
Instances will occur such as locking eyes and locking souls.
Things will happen which plant flowers in your soul and imprint smile lines around your lips.
Life is hard, but life is so beautiful too.
Let things go, let things pass.
Cry and shatter, then laugh and giggle and grow. Healing and building yourself up.
The things that are meant to be will always be.
Everything happens for a reason and everything will be utterly wonderful in the end.
You are alive and isn't that something SO beautiful in itself?
Never forget that life is fucking RAD!
Look at the night sky and the starlight sparkling upon you. The sky reflects the freckles on your skin.
Feel the wild wind, curling it's fingers through your hair to say hello.
Notice the trees grounded and balanced, their arms reaching high as they grow to the moon.
Feel the sun's kiss as she warms your cheek.
Hear the sea whispering and raging it's feelings for the shore.
There are mountains to climb.
There are instruments to play.
There are languages to learn.
There are dreams to be pursued.
There's a whole world to explore and there's so many people to meet and learn from.
There's so many feelings to feel.
Inspiration is every where.
Magic is all around you.
It's time to open your eyes. Really open them.
See what's been there all along, right in front of you.
Right within you...
Beauty,
magic,
joy,
happiness,
love,
LIFE!
YOU ARE ALIVE BABY!
