Life...

Life: It's not as simple as the board game... When you roll your dice, you don't just conveniently land on a spot to collect money, find love, graduate college, draw a card and become a doctor, or anything fictional that goes along with it. Better yet, when you roll doubles, it doesn't mean that you automatically have another turn; another chance.... But it's fun, isn't it? You never know the card that you're going to pick up, or when you roll the dice, you have no clue on where it will make you land... But you take that chance. You take that opportunity and risk of hoping that you get the right number and that you draw the right card... I mean, after all, what's this game of LIFE without taking that chance? You rolled your dice, you drew your cards... now play. Play along with the game... you might not be winning in the beginning, but it you play your game of LIFE right, you still have a chance to win in the end.

One foot in front of the other, it comes so easily to most of us; without thought. The world spins even if we aren't spinning in circles with it... the sun shines the brightest light without even having to use a switch... And everything before us just seems to go on whether we decide to be apart of it or not; our days, our lives, and everything in between. The clouds move along the sky and soon become desolate. And when we don't make the choices of keeping something or someone around, if we don't work for it every day, it too will soon fade away... And before you know it, just like the clouds, it's gone.

I can see the pain in your eyes... Your smile doesn't fool me. The size of it only proves to me that you have more to hide. You're mistaken by society. You're the perfect example of innocent life lessons, but tormented by the circumstances of which they brought onto you. Your heart is broken, but it will never mend if you don't allow it the chance to breathe... On it's own... without you controlling it's every breathe. It's the strongest organ in the human body... even stronger than you, but you just can't seem to stop fighting it.

This image you have created for yourself seems to have taken you by storm; making choices that you'd normally be against seem okay now. Maybe you're lost within yourself... and without allowing any light in, you're only going to suffer within your darkness that you surround yourself with. You can collect a million little stars, but they don't produce as much light as the sun. You can pretend to be the Moon and block the sunlight, but the sun has to come out eventually so the fight you're putting on is only wasting your beautiful days. Making all these unnecessary clouds appear only fog the mind... and that's where you lost your sight.

It's okay to take chances... the bigger the risk, the higher the value. Maybe you haven't risked enough to get what you will value the most in your life. You won't get there with pushing all your chances to the side... In fact, you're only making bad new habits for yourself. Open your mind, open your heart. It's a beautiful world if you make it to be a beautiful world to live in... It's all in you; within yourself... within your mind. Clear the fog... The Moon will always try to block your sunshine, but without the fog, even the Moon can shine bright.

Much love, peace, and happiness...
