Sweatless
In the start of 2009, a little over 10 years ago, my life changed. I won’t get into particulars, But where I thought my life was headed Was not where my life ended up going.
I figured that by the following year or two, I’d be married with a kid. Instead, I found myself alone with my thoughts And my pen.
The thing is, This was something I was used to. I enjoyed being by myself. I always had.
The beginning of that year sucked. I was broken up with, Still feverishly yearning for a son. I was sad.
By the end of that year (2009), Not so much.
I traveled in 2010 like I had never traveled before. I went so far away from everything I considered: home That I shed every fear one has, In losing one’s self, or becoming lost.
I learned what gave specific red wines their flavors. What made time tick. I learned that we could design our destinations Within this life. I even learned how to express tone in text.
The next ten years have been some of the best in my lifetime. And boy, Has it already been, Quite some lifetime.
I think that the message is this:
Look forward to tomorrow. Whether it’s 2020 Or just another Wednesday. So many of the people alive right now Won’t get that gift.
