Sometimes I think things...

Someone is celebrating.
Someone is commiserating.
Someone is eating ice cream and looking up at the stars.

There is nothing more perfect than right now…. but we seem to think so, most of the time.
Take a look at right now. No, seriously, do it.
If it sucks, change it. You DO have that power.

I exist on a plane where the magic of the moment is rarely lost on me.
I know that it has to end, but I love it for what it is.
Sometimes I have to re-ground myself to it though.

But
When the world sparkles just a little bit
When the touch of another person sends electricity shooting through your body
When food tastes extra-delicious
And water tastes like life itself
When colors are vivid and textures are ecstasy under the fingertips
When music fills you up from the inside out
When a smile or an acknowledgment from someone you care about makes your day
When drums beat in your belly and butterflies flutter in your heart

Then…

You must be doing something right…. right?

Don’t allow yourself to become trapped as a result of your decisions. If it looks like you made the wrong decision, or a decision you made becomes a prison, MAKE ANOTHER DECISION.

Butterflies should be in your heart, not your stomach.

I am the brave new girl.
