Longing for margin

And listening for the pace of right now

It’s just life.
We’re just living.
There’s nowhere we have to be.
Nothing we have to achieve.
We’re just alive.
Live.

This has been my mantra as of late. I’ve shared it with anyone who will listen. Such simplicity is saving my life these days.

It’s not an original idea. I was talking to my mom a few months ago about all of these life “plans” I was mulling over. By “plans” I actually meant, “all the ways I intend to control how the next phase of my life will unfold.”
