You’re really not getting the best of me. I feel I should apologize for this. Better yet, alter my life so I do make you more of a priority.

We’re all so busy, right? And if we’re not busy being busy, we’re tired. Too tired to live when we’re not rushing around being busy.

 Sometimes, it’s not even about rushing around or cramming our days with duties… We’re just so bombarded with things that we don’t get the spiritual room in which to breathe, think clearly (or not think) and just be.

But don’t we feel we must go along with it all in order to succeed or at least keep a roof over our heads and bread on the table?! Haven’t we been brainwashed to think this? We’re all panicked that we’ll ruin ourselves if we risk being true to ourselves.

I see it all happening and wrapping around me like tiny invisible snakes, and yet I can’t fully shake it (or them).

Do I have to move to a faraway, exotic and slow land in order to shed the trappings of this modern life? Or do I step off the ledge - straight from here - into the life I really crave,  just hoping (and trying to really, really believe) that something will cushion my fall?

“They” say (those I choose to believe anyway) that nothing truly great can be gained if it isn’t worth risking something else.
