live, love, laugh, light
why be sad, when you can be glad.
the complex smell of fresh coffee grounds, the first sip of coffee, how adrenaline and dopamine fills me. i love coffee. as i sit on the bus ride home, music blasting in my ears, i soak in the way the trees sway with the wind, how the street lights cast quiet eerie shadows. as i lay in bed, i feel my heart thumping in my chest. i start to get drawn into the dark abyss of the still ocean. place a hand on you chest, focus on your heart thumping against your palm. take a deep breath, let your breast expand, and your stomach fill up with God’s endless love.
as i sit in the cafe, people are wrapped in ocean tides of conversations, awakenings wings of emotions and thoughts, if only humans knew of their light. as i sit with my friends admiring them with pure awe, the little giggles of innocence healing parts of us that we never knew needed healing. when i feel the heat of the sun during a nice breezy run, i find myself automatically running in that direction, wanting to soak up every ray of light, hoping that it would fill up the dark void in the chest.
for these are the simple little things, that give me life.
