As of late, my mind has been muddled with "things". Over the years I have noticed that I never fail to over-extend myself, to fill my free time so that there is no free time. Always so eager to please those around me that I often put their needs before my own. Saying "no" is rarely an option for me. And oh, how I loathe this character trait deeply embedded within myself. I have often tried to eliminate it's very existence and have witnessed moments of success, but sadly, they are fleeting. It's a vicious cycle and one that often brings about dreams of the west coast. Away from all I know. A fresh start.
Standing still......it is something I am learning to do. To live in a moment and not demand entertainment. What is wrong with silence? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
It's time to feel more connected to the earth and less connected to distractions. Lessen the load.....physically and mentally. I need to refocus. I have let this society suck me back into its poisoned well. The stench is suffocating. Time to climb out, rise above, experience the dizzied rush of sun-soaked skin and wind-whipped hair. Revel in the deep and peaceful breaths of freedom.
Life isn't meant to be a burden. It is meant to live, experience, grow, learn and enjoy. Eagerly let go of anything and anyone that weighs you down, for we are all meant to fly.
