the first stop is bumpy.
no matter what species we/you are.
we picked all of this:
our names, parents, kids, grandparents.
this is the most positive set-up.
we chose our boundaries, and still continue to do so each and every day.
you can wake up tomorrow and choose the filter of happiness.
the second stop is wild.
we have to choose.
every direction we take is a parallel.
the choices we make —
who we are to certain people, and all persons.
we are just we. i am just me.
you will have to live with this fact.
same goes for you.
change can be suffocating.
positive change reacts to negative change.
proof doesn’t matter, that’s why it’s so hard to trust people.
our eyes lie to us all the time, as do our ears.
the third stop is happiness.
what makes you the happiest?
gaming? reading? writing? helping others?
comedy lives here. but tragedy does as well.
everything happens for a reason.
time is so far from linear.
buckle up, let’s play this game of life.
you already excel at it.
there’s ALWAYS room for improvement.
the fourth stop is longevity.
holding on to any positivity, family.
relationships = juggling.
don’t convince yourself you’re a shitty person merely because change takes effort.
the stops, 1 – 4, can be everything and nothing.
i choose it to be everything.
what are you choosing?
