It is 2am and I cannot sleep. My mind will not settle, but I am at peace with my thoughts. In the dark of night I can be calm and tranquil. The darkness does not scare me. I am not afraid of the things in the shadows because I can dream of much more terrifying things. The night brings the stars, the light in the darkness and they bring me comfort. I see them as guardians of lost souls that look to the heavens and pray that there is more to life than this, for guidance and relief. They are there gently reminding us that we are so tiny, so small in the grand scheme of the universe that we should remain humble and turn our thoughts outward. Constant thoughts of self are so toxic and cause us to miss so many beautiful moments in life. I do not want to miss those moments. I want to live in them. I want to live in every single moment and feel everything that life has to give me. Love, pain, happiness, sadness, I want to feel all of it. I want to know that I am alive and not just existing on this rock floating in space around a star. I want to be a radiating force of light, energy and love to those around me to empower and feed them. I have no need for material things, I have no need for pride or ego. Love and happiness, that is what I want to receive and that is what I want to give. That is all that will ever matter in this short life. My name will not be written in the book of the world, I will not be remembered, but as long as it is written on the hearts of the ones that I love because of the love and happiness I was able to give, I will die richer than Bill Gates.
