Okay, so... I've known this for a while now, but here's the thing about the thing: the moments that change your life or the direction are going in are never in the places you look for them... they're in the most insignificant moments, disguised in candid conversation, or in bored solitude, or in dreams... and if you don't pay attention, you will lose all those earth-shattering, euphoric, wonderful discoveries.
Basically, I finally understand everything that Richard was talking about. Unconditional love. Ain't nothing but a thang. All of it. It made sense today.
Little things that I thought mattered, do not. (Liberating) None of this is a game. And none of it should be taken too seriously. People say it all the time, but how many of us really understand it? How many of us act upon our wisdom? Because the thing is, I've known most of this on some level for a long time, but life is easier said than done. And plus, today just blew my mind. In a car. And really, we just need to stop being so numb. Just accept. Just shut the fuck up and do your own thing, and almost everything that you worry about is little shit. And I'm starting to realize that life is too precious to be wasting your time bothering with people who you don't really love, or with things you don't really care about. And in all reality I know that I'm only 21 and I'm still untouched by many of life's disappointments, and in all reality I probably won't always be this optimistic. And most of what I'm feeling about life right now, I can't explain at all. But I wanted to make it real, even if it's not really what I mean to say.
But for this moment
in my head
I can do anything now.
