Be careful what you tell her. Because she’s listening. 💛 // December Theme: No More Living Life by #thehappinessclock // Song: "Betty Dear" by Blue Dot Sessions. From the Free Music Archive.

It all works in mysterious ways, sweet soul. Sometimes when you want to fly, life tells you it’s time to fall. And others, when you expect to fall, the winds of this life can carry you further than you ever thought possible. They say none of us control the winds— and so many of us think we do. That we can. We spend this life trying to control things and plan things and we think— we hope— that we can have it all figured out. That if— somehow— we can have all the answers to all the big questions— life will be better. Easier. So we do it. We ask them. And once those big questions have been asked, it leaves a big space for an answer. An answer that wants to fill in the hole at the end of the question mark. And the longer it takes, the bigger that space feels. But here’s the thing, sweet soul. About life. Empty spaces after question marks— they aren’t a bad thing. Those spaces are going to be filled with life. No matter what you plan. Or don’t plan. And sometimes you’ll get an answer that fills the whole space at once. And others— others you’re going to have to wait for a bunch of beautiful pieces to fit together. And that’s the beauty of it all. That we don’t control the winds, sweet soul— only, as they say— the sails. So wait out the answers. And ask your questions. But make sure you live in that empty space after the question mark. Live. And never forget, sweet soul— that sometimes we float. And sometimes— we fly. ♥ // December Theme: No More Living Life by #thehappinessclock // #liveinthedetails #thecaptionwriter #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writer #soul #inspire #author #lifestories #couragetorise #atticuspoetry #thesunandherflowers #atticus #rupikaur

Sometimes there is magic. There is just no other word to call it. Sometimes— in random corners of this beautiful earth, it appears without warning. It barges it’s way into unsuspecting hearts— and changes the way eyes see. Footsteps walk. Worlds turn. It’s almost as if some powerful unseeable force just slows the world and all it’s spinning— and lets us see— really see— the fibers that tie us together. As humans. As billions of beautiful hearts sharing this journey together, however different our individual journeys may be. Magic is what changes things sometimes, sweet soul. Oh, I know you can’t use it as your compass in this life— but maybe— maybe— you can use it as a sign. That the world is still good. And you are part of it. And together, we create something pretty darn special. Merry Christmas, loves. May it be filled with hope and love and family and yes, even a little magic. ♥ // December Theme: No More Living Life by #thehappinessclock // #liveinthedetails #thecaptionwriter #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writer #soul #inspire #author #lifestories #couragetorise #atticuspoetry #thesunandherflowers #atticus #rupikaur

What makes you happy? ♥ // December Theme: Tick-tick, Tick-tock, No More Living Life by #thehappinessclock // Song from bensound.com // #liveinthedetails #thecaptionwriter #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writer #soul #inspire #author #atticuspoetry #atticus #jmstormquotes #jmstorm #jironword #loveherwild #lifestories

She had done a lot of thinking about life. About all the beautiful intersections of time and space— the collisions of hearts and footsteps. She had thought a lot about what she needs and what she wants— what she craves and yes, even what she doesn’t know she needs. Yet. And the product of all that thinking— of all that assessment— is something that is pretty darn ambiguous. She’d like to say she knows the answers to her questions and has it all planned out. She’d like to tell you she knows the yin to her every yang— the route to every destination— the cure to every hurt in her life. But she doesn’t. She’s no more qualified to make decisions for her future than you are. And she knows it. But there’s a simple reason for that, and it’s quite simply that she can’t tell you what’s going to happen down the road. She can’t tell you how what she needs now is going to transform into what she needs tomorrow. Or next week. Or three years from now. She can’t tell you what her heart will crave— what her footsteps will chase. The safe boundaries and unknown frontiers of her life won’t always stay the same, because this girl— she is always changing. But she does know what her heart wants now. Right now, she loves the places she can feel the pull of the future and the lessons of the past. She loves standing against a big sky or a crashing ocean, and feeling small. She loves the wind in her face, the warmth of the sun, the sound of summer nights. She longs for the moments she connects with this world— with another soul— on a level and in a way that words cannot explain. Like magic. And she loves turning her back on the chaos and the spin and sinking her bare toes into the sand. Or the cut grass. She loves laying back on a bed of earth, soaking in the smell of something real— and gazing up. Up, at a dark sky and an incredible canopy of stars. That— that is where she feels most alive. For now. ♥ // December Theme: Tick-tick, Tick-tock, No More Living Life by #thehappinessclock // #liveinthedetails #thecaptionwriter #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writer #soul #inspire #author #atticuspoetry #atticus #jmstormquotes #jmstorm #jironword #loveherwild #lifestories

Here it is, sweet souls. Day 365 of 365. And all I can say is... bring on day one. Bring it on. ♥ // December Theme: No More Living Life by #thehappinessclock // #liveinthedetails #thecaptionwriter #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writer #soul #inspire #author #lifestories #couragetorise #atticuspoetry #thesunandherflowers #atticus #rupikaur

You are going to carve your name into this earth.

I’m writing the last pages of this chapter. It taught me— molded me. It healed me and led me. It may have hurt a little, too— but my god did I learn. I learned more this year about my own heart than the combination of all the years that came before it. And all I can say is I’m so ready for what comes next. Because I can feel it. This next one— this next one is going to be the one that changes everything. 👊🏻 ♥ // December Theme: No More Living Life by #thehappinessclock // #liveinthedetails #thecaptionwriter #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writer #soul #inspire #author #lifestories #couragetorise #atticuspoetry #thesunandherflowers #atticus #rupikaur
