It’s been a few months since my dad died and I am slowly getting into the swing of him not being in this life. I have moments where I think “oh shit, gotta call my pops!” and the reality quickly jumps in and reminds me I can’t just pick up the phone. I let myself be sad for just a moment….only a moment because I know he would want me to continue on with life and shit….thanks, pops!
So, here it is….life! It doesn’t stop when someone dies…it goes on, so YOU have to go on; otherwise, life passes you by and it doesn’t give two shits if you’re sad or not. Someone said to me today “I hate life” and it got me to thinking….it does absolutely no good to hate life! Life is a gift and if you don’t grab onto it and cultivate it to be the kind of life that is good for you, well, guess what….life will be shittier than it needs to be!! Life is good, life is hard, life is easy….life just IS! Be present, be IN life, and realize that life is what YOU decide it to be. That’s what I’ve come up with about life….and no matter the shit things that happen in life, I CHOOSE to be happy, to be present, and to LIVE MY LIFE with joy, happiness, maybe even a chance to find someone lucky enough to be IN MY LIFE! The point is – we are all here in our own version of life. Respect others, respect yourself, and respect LIFE…it’s a GIFT!!
What is it to be ME? To be YOU? To be HUMAN?
