My Life, A Cocktail

Someone said something referencing me. I spent hours thinking it over, again and again, until I had completely convinced myself that the comment was offensive and uncharacteristic of me. Slowly but surely, my mind worked its way to build a little pile of grudge for this person in question, that I could be duly reminded of every time this person came into view. And then, I stop in my tracks. No, that is not how life is meant to be lived! I have said this numerous times, life is fleeting, everything is transient. Shouldn’t his words be the same? Without having had the time or the inclination to have touched me, words spoken, absorbed and disappeared into the air that surrounds him and me. Much ado about nothing. Let it go.

Give to me, what life has to offer. I will welcome it all, with open arms. I will crane my neck to seek out new opportunities and live every moment as it is meant to be. I will not avoid, I will not disown and I will not shy away. For I will not be born again, not in this shape or form. So let me celebrate the life that this is, since my time here is too short. Why be afraid, why worry, I tell myself. I tell myself that this time, this space and all that matters is fleeting. Ups and downs, downs and ups, there will always be, it’s the rhythm of life. Why be afraid, why worry, it shan’t solve anything for me. Release it all to what surrounds you. Since you are simply a manifestation of truth, the truth that is you and all around you. Let it go, be free, for holding on to it is a misconception after all.
