It is an ironic and cruel joke that as we figure out who we are, as we find our people, as we become more secure in ourselves and them, we also become closer to death.
I am a submissive, and sometimes it feels like time will run out before I know fully what that means.
So much of what we are is about hope and drive, even if what we are hoping for and driving towards never happens.
The point is the journey, not the destination.
So every second a call to action. To take care of our minds and bodies and hearts so that we can prolong it. To be and do as much as we can in the short time we have. To love fiercely and deeply. To be good to other people and help them along in their journey too.
To change the world into a better, kinder, more equitable place. Because regardless of what anyone says or does, this world belongs to all of us… and we belong in it.
To learn from our mistakes and try to cause as little harm as possible. To figure out who we are so that we can be them, and to remember that who we are isn’t stagnant, so the change shouldn’t stop until the end.
I do not believe in the afterlife, at least not the kind where I continue to be me. So I think we need to make this life matter because it is all we’ve got.
To grow and help others grow. That is how I make my life matter.
Life is short.
Make the most of it. For yourself AND others.
