I Think…

Each day our status hinges on our accomplishments. The hours we worked, the tasks we checked off our to-do lists. Do more, see more, be more. Scroll and compare. Then without warning a tantrum forms inside you like a foreign language. “I’m busy!” “Don’t do that!” “I’m crabby!” Trapped!  You try not let it to spill out onto everyone. Hold it all in, cement up the walls. Chase after the pursuit of perfection. Reminders of our very important lives, our days, months and years planned out for us everywhere we look. Just let go. Let go of all the shit. Bulldoze the walls, burn the to-do list. Go out barefoot into the wind.  Hammer out the hinges. So much holds us back. Just be you, but who are you anyway? Do the things that you want to do and not feel like you must explain yourself, your decisions to anyone. Live a life free of expectations. Free of pleasing everyone but yourself. Time on earth is fleeting and peace of mind is non-negotiable.
