well wholly space balls, time does fly, or does it just move and it is perception that warps the way it flows? Probably a bit of this and a bit of that.
I got a fortune cookie that read:
"Doing what you like is freedom; Liking what you do is happiness."
Are freedom and happiness codependent?
Must one be free before attaining happiness? I don't think so, but there
is some correlation, there is some dependence, but there is also some
room for play there too. They are separate but not strictly so. One
might even venture to say you could just blame it on the duality.
Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.
anywhooooo,
I feel different. I am different. I am grounded today, more than I was
yesterday. I am about to embark on the biggest journey of my life. I
used to be scared, I used to unload on myself all of the things that
could go wrong, all of the reasons that I should stay put. And then I
began to evaluate what my heart wanted and not what my fear was
screaming at me. I took a step to please my heart, and in that step I am
leaving behind a lot. At first, it hurt. It hurt to see that I may not
return to the things that I know and it hurt to expel myself into the
mystery of travel. But it also felt good and is remaining to feel good. I
feel good that i will learn where I come from. It feels good to have
the means to witness what my homeland is, learn what it was and maybe
even help take it where it needs to be. It feels good to remove the
limitations I was putting on my life. It feels good that I am allowing
myself to live and that I am creating my own story with intent and
purpose. I feel alive, more than I did yesterday and I will probably
feel more alive tomorrow. I want to take this bit right now to say THANK
YOU CHIKU, thank you for the ability to do, to listen to yourself and
to do right by yourself and to look at this world with an open heart. I
love you, I love me, I love we.
