Tomorrow I start the first day of my final semester at my dream school.

Today it’s my birthday.

It’s a Sunday.

Life works in mysterious ways, one day its black and white

the next colors you never knew existed.

Life is unpredictable, unthinkable, unique.

Many of us ride the waves of everyday and daily routines

we ride the ups and downs of the ins and outs of the life we don’t need

But

sadly choose to not leave.

Scared of major change and little change, of New, or different.

Scared of ourselves, of our desires, of our hearts.

Scared of the little things, the pretty things, the things that make us feel Whole.

Life.

Beautifully unpredictably horrifyingly painful.

The glorious light that enters our soul every day though our eyes.

Wake up.

The blessing that is everyday

The blessing that is life

The poetry of our daily lives is beautiful, make sure to never take it for granted.

Today is my Birthday, tomorrow my Rebirth day.

Amen.
