WORDS FAIL

I’ve been struck lately by how monotonous my life has became lately. It’s like an endless whirlpool of the same things over and over and over again. Work family friends work family friends. It seems like a terrible thing to say, to call your fam and friends monotonous, but it’s not them, more my routine around them, when I see them etc. I think I need to step back for awhile and remember how truly wonderful and breathtaking life is. The world is in no way monotonous, we only make it so by refusing to venture outside of our square. I want to take a moment to feel completely small and irrelevant again, like nothing I do matters in the grand scheme of things. I want to be overwhelmed by the sheer beauty and wonder of nature, the love shared between friends, the joy that comes in a moment of utter silence. I want things to be quiet and still and at the same time moving at a pace I cannot imagine.
My dear cousin, you’re over there experiencing one of the biggest thrills of life: Independence, freedom, RANDOMNESS. I know it’s all up in the air for you right now, but enjoy it while it lasts, because it will all fall into routine soon enough. We’re waiting for you at home, and we need you to live big and exciting for us. So just remember: Put me in your heart and go see the world. Then come back to me.
