Everything that counts

We've spent our entire lives looking for somebody to walk alongside us. Through thick and thin, through random trivia that comes with the day, and through tiny things we go through. However, in moments of self-realization and discovery, time appears to stop. When you're experiencing a significant transformation in your personality, goals, or the way you handle pain, the world appears to move at the same rate as you, while you seem to wait still in a moment of your own. More than those who can keep up with us, we seek people who know when to stand still. 

When you drive down a highway at sixty kilometers per hour with all of your windows open and a conversation going on, the ride is all fun and games. When you understand that this is the person you want to allow in, it's when the red light comes on, the wind stops messing with your hair, the song on the radio becomes irrelevant, and you realize that it's just you and yourself in your thoughts. All that counts is that and only that.

Keep smiling and trust the process!!

Blossoming

Many things change as you get older. You grow apart from those you thought you'd be riding or dying with. Your definition of success shifts from having an unending supply of money to desiring a decent night's sleep in a home with people you care about. You begin reading for various reasons, sometimes because it seems like a cool thing to do, and sometimes because you find beauty in the calmer world of words. You begin to notice pleasant people. You form an opinion of them, sometimes basis what you hear, and sometimes basis what you see.

What I adore about growing up is how it broadens our minds and hearts in many ways.

We perceive everything as a choice. We can see the beginnings of it. We can see it coming to an end. We can see it burning. We can see it blossoming. Perhaps that is what growing up is all about learning how to love and how not to love. Learning to be and let oneself be.

Learning to care while also being carefree. Learning how to live and what it means to die.

Keep Smiling!!
