Ho hum

Life is a series of disappointments

Stuffed between moments of ease and joy

***_***_***_***_***

I suppose the only  to way to avoid this feeling

This reality

Is to hold no expectations whatsoever

And that is a lofty

And most would surmise unattainable goal

Yet

I truly don't believe it is impossible

Merely that it takes looking at life

Much differently than we have been programmed to look at it

And that takes a shift most people find far too daunting a task to undertake

It is one which I ever yearn to achieve

Embrace the fear

It is from the most raw and vulnerable place

That we are the most aware

That we can experience the most magical moments

That we can truly feel alive

Yes

Life isn't all fairy tales and gumdrops

Rainbows and butterflies

But it can be mesmerizing none the less

If you let yourself be fully alive to it

Have courage

Don't let fear keep you from living out your life

To its utmost

What did you come here for?

It is but one experience

One lifespan

Own it

Enjoy it

Truly live it
