i used to think that i could one day solve all the personal issues that were holding me back from my phantasmic idea of happiness and once i reached the top of that hill i would live forever; bathing, figuratively, in morning light from a kitchen window, a purring cat by my side and no dishes in the sink, and now i see my life stretching out, beyond that calm august day and into the sludgy, dark evening commute of an eventual february and back, and i see that my life is not a problem to be solved but a state of constant movement, two steps forward and one step back in perpetuity. my joy will be lost and found over again with the swing of that pendulum

Sometimes you’re high, and sometimes you’re low. Ultimately that IS life, and despite where you are in the landscape, everything keeps moving even if you choose to stand still.

i feel like each of us lives an alternate reality from one another where we can either align or experience different feelings at different times. good and bad are perspectives on life events (internal or external) that fluctuate across time. in this way we can’t generalize life as one thing. we move through the ‘motions.
will be pondering this…

The world is electric, sad, crazy, pretty, lost, exciting, needy, spinning, wtf now. But I want to be completely unafraid to live every day. The girl who still sings funny lyrics, cries when she sees a flapping pigeon trying to escape, longs for the things her Maker has wired her for, the girl who chases after weird rabbit holes that she thinks are cute, has NO idea how things will turn out the next day, the passion that turns her hot and cold, the girl who thinks through everything but also effing go like, I should have gone on that boat.
I really should have. Because life.
