Waking up to life
As the sun rises my heart screams out life is an endless amount of days that are a mystery and yet I'm always excited for the next one. So many energies through another's presence in every step that we take. Influences just from their equal existence all around us through example. Not all of their displayed desires is right for them let alone you. It's better you see what not to do by others example rather than you make a big mistake among all other mistakes. Life is selfish and won't let you know until the consequences are in play that you made an error in judgement. Using the word judgment in that manner may be one of the few times it's OK. Life challenges you because it wants you to be present in it. Dont live your life in an oblivion state hence you be called an airhead. While you are young and consequences are less expensive explore. Write things like dreams and desires down to help guide you at a later date. If unsure of what you want I D what you don't want often that's a better path to narrowing it down. Dont be afraid of yelling back at life.
