today a petal fell on my feetI felt a feeling quite interestingit’s no longer sadness, it’s no longer grief,it’s as if melancholy’s veil liftedand spring sprung upon my kneesi took a deep breath and it smelled of reliefthe winter’s frost no longer a hardened shell cursing the breezea brand new day, it seems to beeven though my watch shows 8:53the moon blinks and i understand what she meansa brand new day is decided by you and me

Could I just say something real quick? 

It’s all coming. Whatever you’re starving for, whatever that ache is that stings your bones, it’s coming. The love, the happiness, the adventures, and the creativity that you are seeking, it is all coming for you. Here’s the thing, don’t let your right now get away. The things you find mundane, keep them. Store them in the pocket of your favorite coat like found pennies. They aren’t futile. Do not let them cause you to feel empty and hollow. They are going to be worthwhile. Keep the hunger for what is coming, but please, keep a tight grip on these little ordinary moments that are happening right now, because they – these tiny pieces of this ordinary affair you find yourself in – are the foundation to your extraordinary. And I promise you, if you begin to recognize your right now, you’ll see your extraordinary coming.

Isn’t it wonderful how you’re always finding new songs and new books and new shows and new hobbies and new places and new people to fall in love with?  There will always be things to love, as long as you stick around to find them.
