it’s clear that you want what you want in life + that’s all good, fam
having the desire to do for yourself + to live out certain life experiences is admirable + invites unrestricted imagination into your life.
do, however, practice discretion when it comes to your desires.
not all of them are to be fulfilled,
not all of them are to be lived + experienced by you,
+
not all of them are truly yours in the first place.
sometimes we confuse our ego lead desires with what’s truly in our hearts.
what is important is that we detach from desire + embrace living life in its totality.
we don’t live only to experience one thing that life brings, we live to experience life in its fullness.
we don’t live only for the happy times, we live to experience the grief filled ones, too.
we don’t live only to experience joy, we also live to experience the pain, too.
we don’t live only to experience peace. to embrace peace, we must also experience the chaos.
as undesirable as one experience may be to us,
there’s no joy without pain,
there’s no laughter without sorrow —
there’s no one action without its equal + opposite.
today, allow yourself to live without expectation.
yes, you may experience what it is you wanted to experience, but guess what?
you may experience more than what you’ve ever imagined you would experience!
you may experience what you may label as a road block, but that detour is there to take you a different way.
don’t give up on your dreams, fam.
allow your passion for life to lead + drive you in the direction of your desires.
at the same time understand that desires are fleeting —
you can + will change your mind over the course of time + that’s okay!
live a life of detachment, of flexibility, + of freedom
with the understanding that what’s for you is always gonna show up for you.
be you, be dope!
