9.10.11

It matters. Or it doesn't. Or something like that.

If you could have the life you dreamed, guaranteed, for only one night (no exceptions) would you take it? Almost always the sounding reply is an enthusiastic yes but I've also noticed most everyone who actually answers this question already pretty much has everything they want in life (well, at least currently). Now don't run off, if you think I am going to sit here and be a whiny critic of life (which I usually am) because I too would say yes. I wouldn't say my "yes" is more justified persay but I will note that I know how it feels to loose a piece of your life you thought would be your future. I also know those blissful moments when it seems the world is put back together and those blissful moments can take any resounding pain away. When you find "home" in life you just know it, from the very gut of belly, to the butterflies in your stomach, to the chest-bursting pounding heart, and the head in the clouds, you just know it. However, you might realize you know it (or don't know it) for years. After you know it, it then takes years to begin to comprehend WHY you know it, beyond that it take time to realize HOW you know WHY you know you're "home". I know the list goes on from there but I'm not old and dead yet so I haven't quite figured it out. Still, you know those resounding moments of clarity when suddenly everything makes sense and you make some big discovery about yourself? Yeah, treasure those moments. 

I don't really know where I am going with this except that when you know something is right and you get have those right moments in life, take every opportunity. Relish it and cherish it. Understand it and know it. Don't let anyone else tell you "you are wrong" because only you know what makes you happy (and hopefully why it makes you happy). "God" may close doors but there is no guarantee a window will ever open up. Life is fleeting and our hearts are forever beating closer to the grave. Your time may not be now but when you have it, love it.

and now, something completely different!

You're not perfect
I see that now
You're no prince charming
Like the others dream of
You walk your own path
I like that
I like that though
they say you can't be fixed
I can see you fixing all the time
I like walking at night
I like that you like walking at night
I like the way you move
(it makes me laugh)
I like that I know you don't really like my driving
(I don't like my driving either)
Your mind is filled with random facts
You know, I also think I like that
I know you're not perfect
I can see that now
but it's all your imperfections
I treasure and enjoy
I like that.
