Excuse Me, Are You Lost?
11:20 PMI have this innate desire to be interesting. I constantly want to learn more, to do more. I want to see the world, to smell fresh air and to touch the ground on far away lands. I am addicted to that feeling of openness that you get in your chest in a moment of complete euphoria. Moments like..
-The first view of the Pacific Ocean, mountains lining blue waters.
-A big soft bite of chocolate ice cream.
-A full speed Gallup on the back of a horse.
-The view from the top of a mountain, when it suddenly makes you feel so small.
-The first time he tells you he misses you.
-The silence beneath a canopy.
-The feeling of warm sand beneath my feet.
-The way sunlight can rain down and almost sparkle at magic hour.
-the way the world looks from 30,000 feet.
It's the exact moment when you feel like the world is yours, everything in front of you is a possibility just waiting for you to take hold.
How could you not become addicted to that? Who needs drugs when real life is so damn amazing. Maybe it's a mad case of wanderlust or simply looking back at my experiences so far, but right at this moment I am so grateful for life. I am in love with it. I want more of it.
It is so hard not to get caught up in the politics of every day life, I myself get tangled up frequently. But when I step back and look at the big picture all of the frustration and stress seems so silly. This is MY life; that can be easy to forget when life starts running you. Where is that girl hiding? The one with the air of confidence and that infatuation with life? I can feel her in there, bursting at the seams. I want to find her. I am so hungry for it.
Have you looked at yourself lately? Are you really there? The you who has the world at her fingertips....if not, maybe it's time to do some soul searching. Is this really it?
Take time to breathe.
Take time to look.
Take time to listen.
Take time to feel.
Take time to be amazed.
Take time to find yourself.
