#Now Playing: Best I've Ever Had- Vertical Horizon
Dear Friend,
June went by really fast for me. Although I had my fair share of mishaps and teenage crisis episodes, it was so fast-paced. It's crazy how time flies and before you know it, everything is over. Hours to days to months to years. It's amazing. Sometimes we get too caught up in a specific moment that me forget to move on when, unknown to us, life moves on on its own. What I'm trying to say is everything happens, but no specific event happens forever. We live and move on. We're all trying to find out way out of the labyrinth ('Looking For Alaska' reference there). Some of us are lucky enough to make it out while others get swallowed in and just stay idly in one corner forever, never finding progress. I'm still finding my way out. Sometimes I make progress, and sometimes I end up back at the same place I was not too long ago. But I'm gonna get out, someday.
I was reading a poem called Desiderata today. I guess it actually gave me a minute of self- reflection. Who am I? What is my purpose in life? I'm living in this world, alive and breathing, not knowing what I was set out to do. Then it hits me. I was born to live my life. To benefit from the world and let it benefit from me. To go on, be human. Make mistakes. To learn, and laugh and build relationships. To be happy and sad and feel all the vibrant emotions that come with being human. Everything. I have to accept that I'm human. And no extraordinary life experience will make you particularly special in this world.
Just a thought.
Love Always,
Yasmeen
