Everything is Light

Life moves on. I think that above everything, that's the principle lesson that I've internalised over 19 short years of life.

Your heart can feel like its breaking, literally every beat is a pain in your chest. But...watch a movie. Eat some lunch, have some dinner.

You may want something so bad, that each moment is consumed with the thought of its culmination. In the end, you either get it, or you dont. You are satisfied or you are not. But neither elation nor despair, lasts. Get a little work done, maybe clean up your room.

Nothing exists but that exact moment you're in. You may feel like you are breaking, or that your every breath is light, nectar, sunlight and elation. Perhaps you feel mad, so madMadMAD (MADMAD). But dont tell me you aren't indulging yourself, being selfish, focusing only on yourself. When they told you to walk away from a fight, they were also telling you to walk away from your self.

People wonder, how I can take everything so lightly. But knowing what I know, being who I am, I look right back at you, and wonder how you cannot.
