I've had a lot of time recently to do very little other than think about my current life situation. How did I get here, and do I really like where I am right now? I've been given the most wonderful opportunity to lie in the sun every day and bronze my body a smooth walnut colour. Or watch blue dragonflies hover over murky alligator waters. I've swallowed oranges freshly picked from nearby trees waving in the soft breeze. I should be totally relaxed, re-energised, at peace; and yet some nights I can't sleep and others I'm disturbed by strange dreams that have me wake up shaking and crying to my core.
Could it be that I've forgotten how to wind down? That city life has got my adrenaline ramped up so high that sitting still for a moment actually feels like torture now? Or maybe it's something to do with the stars. After all, I was born under the sign of Aries. A fiesty, turbulent ball of energy, always ready for action and adventure. Then I remember that this is what I wanted, the peace, the quiet, the time to just be. To just exist in this world without any predispositions. Sitting in front of Lake Dora I'm forced to be patient and shed all my labels, all my shoulds and should-have-beens. I suddenly realise I'm in love and loved, and I want to play with this new found freedom, I want to hold onto it as long as possible before it is lost on the stage we call society. Before I forget I am simply a human being.
To you my beloved brothers and sisters, let us not forget to be who we are, to love unconditionally, and to have fun with the life we've been given. Too often have I caught myself snapping at the smallest thing that in retrospect was not even worth the energy.
Take the time to love yourself, as yourself, where you are right now and the people around you will feel beloved too.
