10. You have the pen that writes your life story.
If you were offered to leave the country
for a month, would you go?
If the plane was going up and you could
skydive out of it, would you jump?
If your friend asked you to dance on the
table, would you get up?
If you answered yes to all three,
congratulations! You have the eye of the tiger as my girl Katy would say. But
chances are you probably didn’t. Or you mindlessly read them wondering where I
was going with them… But, regardless, I’m not going to preach that you should
take every opportunity that presents itself. Sometimes just because you have
the ability to take your pants off or tattoo your mother’s name across your
chest doesn’t mean you should. But if you do, that’s cool too. The point is that you shouldn’t feel as if you
must follow the story society writes for you.
I sometimes think when I find the “end-all,
be-all” love, it is going to be like a romantic comedy. You know the ones. Girl
meets boy. Girl loves Boy. Boy loves girl but messes up. Girl struggles with a
decision. Girl decides she still loves Boy. Girl and Boy kiss. The End. But
life isn’t a rom com and I’m not Jennifer Aniston. Instead of waiting for life
to write my story, I must realize that the paper is in front of me and the pen
is in no one else’s hand but my own. If the person makes your heart happy and your wheels turning, let it happen. It's your story.
Write your story. Cross things out. Make things bold. Write softly, write with meaning. Hell, doodle outside the lines. Just make sure when you turn the last page, you're happy with the memories within the bindings and your name is staring back at you as the author.
it’s an outlet. it’s an
inspiration. it’s a gift. it’s a purpose
