When I awoke this morning, I expected the day to turn out ordinary. A typical Monday.
Aside from my soy latte, there was nothing typical about it.
I think back to a time where I was lonely, even surrounded by everybody, to a time where I was lost and the future looked cloudy, and I relish the fact that I am no longer there. I am here. I am who I am. And I know what I am supposed to do.
I will continue to make mistakes, to say hurtful things probably and speak before thinking. I will drive too fast and still bite my nails. I will jump the gun. I will criticize people’s ways of cleaning.
I am pretty sure the state of enlightenment I experienced today will stay with me forever. Today I truly fell in love with being human.
I am optimistic about growing older.
