I LOVE MY LIFE

I LOVE MY LIFE. Each one of these words are so simple to say on their own, yet when you put them together it can transform into the hardest statement for someone to speak. "I love my life" and I do. I go to sleep with the hope of waking up to another tomorrow and making my way into the beautiful unknown called life.

Because that's exactly what life is.... The Big Unknown. No matter how much I plan, life will always take me by surprise. It will throw me a day where I can see the beauty in everything that I touch, everything that I see, yet in a matter of a moment I can look at the world like I'm looking through a shattered glass, broken and unrecognizable.

However, I go and I do what this body has been made to do, live. I breathe in the air around me and it no longer becomes air to my lungs but it becomes hope for my heart. Hope that despite my mistakes, my misfortunes, and my disappointments that I can rise above it and stand firm upon who I was meant to be.

And dare to dream! Dream as though you have no tomorrow, but live as though you have a hundred years! Life is something that you should fall in love with. Something that causes you to look into the mirror, stare at the reflection and say "I love you". Yes, the days that come and feel like a tidal wave on your soul are the times where we no longer want anything to do with life, especially if the waves never cease and we become so use to the motion that we forget that storms eventually come to an end. The clouds will part and the sun will break through straight to your heart, where you just might find that little place where you feel something you almost forgot about....

Joy, love, peace.
So many things that remind you how good life can be.

It's like a man coming up to you and placing some change into your hand and without looking to see how much, you put it into your pocket. Would you think anything about it? Besides the idea of a strange man handing us some change, it wouldn't phase us. However, while you were walking away from the man, you turn around to hear him say "that change represents the years of your life and how much you have left." Suddenly that change in our pocket becomes the most precious gift that we have.

I say the simple words "I love my life" and I do because it's full of everything that I have ever and will ever know. I say these words to express how important life is because it's the longest thing that you will ever do, so start doing it the best way that you can.
