Not everything in life can be understood. Most things are done or meant to be felt. We have to stop trying to control everything and just let life flow.
Beauty is not about clinging to things or holding on to them, but simply about being and existing.
Even our pain is teaching us how to be alive.
I think we forget that life was never meant to be understood. It was meant to be felt.
We spend so much time trying to understand everything that is going on around us and within ourselves. Trying to fix, explain, solve, or even control in an almost obsessive way.
But life is not a puzzle, as we keep hearing everyone repeat ad nauseam. Life is a wave.
And you were never meant to carry that wave. You are meant to let the wave pass you by... Imagine you are on a beach. Your feet are in the water. The water only reaches your knees, and life is like a 3-meter wave coming your way. We don't have to fear it, despite its enormity. We don't have to expect the wave not to leave marks on us, or even end our existence. In the end, it will always end. We just have to let it pass. Sometimes, the giant wave gently bathes us, and we get wet, but full of energy... Other times we are carried away in front of it, and it knocks us down on our backs.
Joy, Fear, Disappointment. The moments that made no sense to us, until much later they did...
You were never broken, in reality, you were just becoming, transforming into something different. You were under construction. As always.
I am led to think and believe that sadness comes when we try to hold on to the moment we are experiencing, the feeling, in the hope of keeping it with us forever.
But everything you have ever loved in life was only borrowed. And the beauty of this was never in holding on to or grasping the feeling, or the person, but rather in living, in letting it flow. In feeling.
So, if you are suffering, don't rush to try to escape or get out of that suffering.
If you are lost, don't rush to find a direction or meaning. Feel it. EVERYTHING. Because this is also part of the DANCE.
And if you listen carefully enough, even the pain... that pain, is trying to teach you how to live life.

Ah, proper wisdom. Everything in flow. We do better when we accept this and don't buck and kick against life.
Thank you so much for your comment and appreciation, Riverflows! And if anyone can speaks about the flow is you, literally 😅
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
