"Take a deep breath of life and consider how it should be lived.
Call nothing thy own except thy soul.
Love not what thou may become.
Do not pursue pleasure, for thou may have the misfortune to overtake it.
Look always forward; in last year’s nest there are no birds this year."
Cervantes Don Quixote
Some days are magical.
Some days are mundane.
But every day has a spark of beauty.
The lightning illuminating the vast Utah sky.
The crackle of fall's first leaves beneath my feet.
A kiss on the forehead.
A sweet glance between friends.
In these moments, routine melts away and I really feel.
Contentment and longing, joy and melancholy.
It does not matter.
I feel alive.
My heart beats a story, a secret for the soul.
I feel the rush of the world fill my lungs with vibrance.
My eyes open to a twist in my story.
Who knows where it will lead?
And I'm longing, for words to describe how I'm feeling. I'm feeling inspired. My world just flip turned upside down. It turns around, say what's that sound?
It's my heart beat, it's getting much louder - My heart beat, is stronger than ever. I'm feeling so alive, I'm feeling so alive.
...
I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story. It's time I open up, and let your love right through me. That's what you get when you see your life in someone else's eyes.
