Live a life that scares you. The possibilities that the future, both near and far, hold ought to numb your fingers, send jolts through your knees. You were not meant for some equator, an even line of knowing what comes next. You were meant for bitter cold that cuts so deep your bones groan and your tear ducts crystalize. You were meant for heat that hits you like a linebacker, dries out your lungs if you breathe too deep. You were meant for rains that turn your skin to salamander scales, that thunder by the force of it all and drown your mind of anything but that noise.
You were not meant for the predictable; to wake up every day and walk the dotted line laid out before you, apperceptive to only what has been prescribed. You were meant for fear, anger, passion, and irrational love. You were meant to fall, bend, break. You were meant to fail utterly and pick yourself back up. Live a life that scares you. Your heart might beat out a different pace, but the honey will be sweeter, the colors more vivid, and the successes will give you wings.
Peace & Love
