I haven’t been very social for months. Maybe since the beginning of the year, actually. Most days I’d prefer to just stay at home to read or write. There’s more reading than writing, to be honest. More hiding beneath the covers when the day is over, or when the week is ending. I had neither the energy, willingness, nor desire to do anything else. I was bothered at first. I wasn’t used to being still, to being calm, to not feeling that fire in my veins that would propel me to do, do, do. I felt like something was wrong with me because I didn’t feel like doing anything. It took me a long time to accept that maybe a person’s worth isn’t based on what he/she could produce or accomplish. It took me a long time to accept that it’s okay to maybe, just /be/. But seasons change and things change. People change and feelings change. It’s good to pause, to be still, to just be. But somehow, we have to move. Get up. Show up. Open up. Because life is meant to be lived to the fullest. Maybe not always with passion or fire or thunderstorms or spectacle. Sometimes, maybe with the quiet drive and commitment to just live with peace, with joy, with love. And then, also, as we live, we let live too. We love others too. Because otherwise, if we just pass by through life, then what’s the point? So yes. Get up in the mornings. Show up in the gatherings. And open up to receive the love and the blessings. That’s it. That’s the post. #projectbeautifulwords #projectkaladkarren (at Eggs for Breakfast) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1D1PPwARbt/?igshid=1degrrwejjo6b
