what i know

i don't think that life is just getting by til you get to the next day... it's playing in the rain when it's 100 degrees outside w/ the dog. it's kissing your love, or holding your kid, or swinging at the park til it's so hot you can barely walk. it's smoking every last cigarette and drinking every last beer til you feel like nothing can touch you. it's running 5 miles a day down the beach til you collapse in the sand and the tide comes in on you. it's writing books and singing songs & drinking coffee all day long. it's not knowing where your next paycheck is gonna come from, but you still keep living life like it doesn't matter, and it doesn't. not depending on anything but God and love.

i know it's hard and rewarding to live life like this... but i want to. i can't go back and i won't. i must cast the line into the ocean and pray that God will give us a good catch. cause i'm a failure and a winner. but why can't we love being both. being free to swim with the sharks and throw it all to the sunny shores of hope. i miss my friends and my family. but Julie's my family now and her family is insane, but amazing, funny and charming. it doesn't matter if i'm right or wrong as long as God is right. and He is always.

i can't keep wondering if i could be any better anywhere else cause it doesn't matter where we are. as long as we're all together and we keep going. my plastic cup keeps sweating and i keep praying. my wife keeps working and i keep saying. we need this.
