Fall

The thing that I have been learning all along- What is right and what is wrong.

Those laws that are written by people-

those rules that weren't written by me. 

The rules that say:

make money don't make fun

marry

buy a house in the suburbs

have 2.5 children

grow old

retire

die. 

So many times I feel like I am surviving more than living. 

I used to be scared of the unknown and what might not feel normal 

by societal standards. 

Not anymore

 and it feels incredible. 

When I let go of the textbook way to live I was left with this:

Adventure

Love

Friendship

Creativity

Passion

Soul

The pressures of life make it feel impossible for us to fall,

but sometimes falling is the best part. 

That is when we see the world from a different perspective. 

That is when we notice exactly how we feel;

how our stomachs tingle, how are hair blows in the wind,

or how the air feels on our faces.

Sometimes falling is the only way to end up at the destination. 

To all the people in my life who have defined themselves and others 

based on the ebs and flows of the society that surrounds them I say:

Watch

        Me

                Fall.
