Time Goes Like This...

Sip slowly and begin to play every emotion; they all make me feel like I'm drowning. Resurface. Another crisis I might once again survive. Tell me about those times you reminded me to hope this one might be different. Something tells me you knew they'd say all the same. I'm smiling and wondering whether I have anything worth complaining about. I enjoy the weird turns and roundabouts wherever I'm trekking.

I know that's not just me thinking this sort of thing. How? Because they are sitting right in front of me, appointments and random happenings, individuals are so revealing. I love the authenticity, and I'm intoxicated by our intrigue for others, our longing to connect with something, and how we find ourselves in the most unfamiliar yet comfortable places. That's the only thing these days that makes sense to me. I crave it indefinitely. I've grown thirsty.

"It's complicated," I keep reiterating; eventually, this will all make sense. I keep saying, "it's all meant to be; the here and now is all it can be...and I will follow in that same simplicity." It feels like my morning and evening mantra. I mean it when I say it was something I kept REPEATING. How complicated I am is also what I kept celebrating in my head because I loved the moon as much as I did the stars.

I should stop seeing myself in similies and metaphors because of these words I am not. However, the moon and I may share the story of having many stages and different sides. But what I feel are these here and now. Like the moon's phases, these emotions are authentic and sometimes hard to recognize. But with them, I keep evolving, allowing something within me to continue changing, to embrace any atmosphere around me; I'll be a reminder of the impact the environment which I wish to protect can genuinely impact me.

Love is like this. So beautiful and magnetic, yet expansive, we fear it for our simplicity of being able to hold it. We crave it and want to own it. Yet the very thing that makes it so valuable is that it bears no price, given freely, it's worth way more than gold, and we'd all sacrifice our youth to know it, honestly. That may be the only message I wish to leave with those left on this earth after my own time. Love is the only path to autonomy and happiness. For yourself and others is the only secret or fountain to drink from, love always and indefinitely.

Time goes like this, quick as a star shooting through the sky. In the blink of an eye, all that you've been waiting for and gone before you realized it was all that it needed to be. Keep reaching, keep hoping, like is a wish and hope we leave in the night sky.
