Such is life

Sometimes like a slap to the face I am reminded: I am loved. I am love and it is my duty to remember this, to cherish it, to share it with the world.

Seeing friendly faces from a place and time of happiness, I digress into happiness myself, the power of memories overwhelming.

C'est la vie. "Such is life." It has become a mantra of my existence.

In this there is tension, for we often assume an essential negativity. A sense of "I accept that this weight exists in my life, that it holds me back, and I move forward anyways."

Such is my life. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain and all the sparkling in-betweens that color an otherwise bland existence.

Aye, c'est la vie, a kaleidascope of beauty unforetold by the passing of time. C'est la vie, a pain that time cannot erase. As one I take them in stride.

I am strong. I am resilient. I am growing.

I seek not to combat the negativity in my life, rather I want to embrace it, encompass it with all that I am, all that I can be. It is not wrong. The powers that oppose us are never wrong. I reject this binary existence. The powers that oppose me oppose me and I welcome them with open arms, for it is through them that I will grow. Through them I will transform and reshape myself.

C'est la vie, a revolution of self. The God on high and the god within communing for something beyond themselves.

This is what I aspire to.

Inspiration. Declaration. Intention. Dedication. Veneration.

I cannot share this with you. I cannot tell you about it or use it with/for/to you. No, I can only experience it actively and shine with it through the very pores of my body.

Take from it what you will. C'est la vie.
