I want to meet the world. I want to taste the drunkenness of things being various. I want to embrace the beauty that is in the world and remember that these are gifts that in their fragility are so easily lost and forgotten.
Time is away and somewhere else.
You've had your time, I'll have mine.
And I'll not waste in on further unhappiness.
(ranting ahead)
Never forget that nothing in this world should be taken for granted. Not happiness or love or beauty, indeed, but also pain. and hardship and suffering.
I guess what I am trying to say is that nothing lasts forever.
In the midst of every darkness there will be a light, a point of reference, and god forbid you lose sight of that.
I awoke one morning with an intense blaze of clarity of what I had lost and gained. Would you believe me if I said that happiness is most fully realized after it has been lost for a period? In being drunk on utmost and seemingly endless contentment we forget that happiness is a choice; that it requires effort; we forget that nothing really comes for free.
It's all over now, really.
