Thoughts....
( no, I haven't been imbibing liquorous spirits either.. )
Life is a variable, not a constant..
Where you are today is not where you may be tomorrow, and where you were, is not necessarily where you currently are...
Memory is like a stone tablet.. Life, however is like a flowing river.. Dynamic, ever changing, fluid..
Expectations are just like memory. Rigid, unwavering.. It is the future that has yet come to pass, based on our desires. A road map of the psyche fashioned by us, and expected to unfold just as we have drawn it.. But , it seldom unfolds the way we want it, and have envisioned it to.
This gives way to something called: reality.
Reality is constant, reality isn't sugar coated, reality is something we avoid if it appears , or tastes too bitter, to scary, or doesn't line up with how we envisioned that it would come out.. ( see: expectations. )
Reality is at times shockingly painful, uncomfortable, and inconvenient.. Which is why we avoid it, and attempt to bury it in a shallow grave in the back 40 of our brains.. The illusions we have created are too comfortable to be cast aside for a stinging dose of Reality.
But Reality is like Holy Water... It cleanses, it purifies, it frigging burns. It is just like pouring a strong disinfectant on a wound:
You know you need it,
infection will certainly set in if you don't use it..
You bite your lip and do it..
It takes your breath away, you want to die at that moment, but you don't...
After getting your breath back you stand up, and hoist your pack onto your shoulders.
And you keep walking...
