Appreciation


Here’s the thing kids.  If someone/something isn’t in your life, they/it aren’t supposed to be.  Holding on to memories of that, which isn’t, does you no good.  If you can’t beam with pride at those around you and you're babbling beauty about someone who isn't…..Release. 
I’m not quite sure where life is taking me, but lately I’ve been kind of ebbing in a place of purity. By which, I mean, what is, is.  The rest, fuck it.  If it’s around me and it’s real, I buy it.  Wondering, thinking, regretting, questioning – meh, not worthy of my thought.  This is all I have.  Now.  And I’m lucky because I have a lot of awesome around me.
Sure, I’m human and I remember moments – I remember laughter.  I remember when.  I remember and miss shit that hurts and makes no sense but then when isn’t then anymore and then isn’t now so why bother?
I’m not an easy person to love.  I’m a selfish pain in the ass but I’m loyal as fuck, which is why I presume the people around me stick around.  And now, they are all I care to think about.  The grass isn’t greener.  Its just grass.  I’d rather play on ground that I’ve tended to, than to leap sideways for the hope of something that might be better – cause I am slowly beginning to realize, there is no better.  I’ll take years of allegiance over moments of ambivalence any day.
And so that is what this is all about.  Don’t think about what you don’t have, cause you aren’t supposed to have it.  And you’re better off for not.  Trust me.   The Universe gives you exactly what you are supposed to have and has placed you exactly where you are supposed to be.  Look for more, try to manipulate it, and you will be without far greater. 
Just be, people.  Appreciate.  Stop.  Listen.  Breathe.  Say thank you to those that put up with all of your ambivalent bullshit because chances are, they would be far better served elsewhere but they happen to love you too much to look.  Say thanks, wave your hands in the air, shake off those that missed out on you and embrace those that haven’t.
Capiche?  
Thanks for listening. And here's a little ditty to enjoy...
