Maybe love

Maybe in this world there is no fate, no great cosmic alignment, every stranger is just a stranger, a tragedy just a tragedy. Maybe no person or promise is good. Out there, maybe there is no one waiting, no one who is perfectly made for you. Maybe this world is dark, and mean, and there are no happy endings. Whether it is by choice or design, or just out of necessity, the world I see is a little more romantic. Every step no matter how wrong is in the right direction, every decision carries its own weight, each interaction has its purpose. In the world I see, people no matter how mean or cold or jaded, are looking for something that maybe you have to offer. I see people who care about what they do, who care for those around them, who mean what they say. I see a place in this world that is waiting just for you, purpose and belonging, a feeling of relief like "I can't believe I used to be so scared". More often than not, for good or for bad, life has been nothing like what I had expected. From day to day you don't have a chance at guessing where you're going, where you'll end up. The only thing you have control of is how kind, how generous, how caring, how optimistically you see the world. Each one of us has no clue what is going on, what we're doing, love everyone you can, be good, be kind, be understanding, love.

Be love

Love everyone. Love everything. Be patient. Be kind. Try to be better.

Sometimes I

Sometimes I worry I'm not as smart as I once was. Or as funny, or as good of a writer. I feel used up, dried out. Is it possible all of my good days are gone? Has any talent I had just evaporated? I worry I won't find passion, or purpose. Sometimes I am afraid. Sometimes I am lonely. But for better or for worse this is who I am. This body is mine, these choices are mine. Different doesn't always have mean worse, a lot of times different just means different. I have changed, I am changing, I am something new each day.

Out there

Out there, there are people with lives that I will never live. The football star, or the prom queen, the doctor, or the celebrity. There are people living in places I'll never see, and experiencing things I can't even imagine. There is so much outside of my life, away from my path. But in this moment, in this place, in my life, I will live to the fullest.

You have

You have made it this far, you will make it through this. 

                           26/30

The day

Whether it is a dream, or a person, or a god, or even yourself. Everyone needs something to believe in just to make it through the day.

Goodnight tomorrow

Goodnight to the dreamer and the over thinker, and to the lover without a lover. Sweet dreams to the try hard and the wannabe, the lost and to the lonely. A prayer for the misguided and for the misunderstood, for the anxious and the hopeful and the broken down and needy. In this whole wide world I hope for nothing but love to surround you, and hold you, and tuck you in at night. I hope that when you fall, you fall with grace and stand up more confidently than before. I hope you have passion, and compassion, and understanding and love in your heart. Go to sleep tonight, and be kind tomorrow. Sleep tonight and give someone love tomorrow. Fall asleep tonight and be better tomorrow.
