Life happens
…and when it does, it hits you with such might.
Life happens when you least expect it. When you’re busy making plans and giving them years.
Life is that prankster that comes around the bend bearing gifts you never expected, making you feel emotions you never knew existed.
Life in its fullest, is that event that you woke up and found yourself attending. That stage you found yourself on, sans rehearsal. That piece you found yourself writing sans pre-sketch. That canvas you’re painting from scratch.
It’s beautifully frightening, life. It’s horrifyingly beautiful. It’s changing. It’s immensely unpredictable yet captivating, all at the same time.
You simply cannot ignore life. It’s narcissistic. Every damn thing you do is about it. It lasts a lifetime.
It’s a bundle of paradoxes, a box of contradictions, a set of ironies.
When life happens, you learn what’s irrevocably true.
Life’s happening.
