Chapter One

Breath in, breath out

As silly as it seems, I'm going to start at the beginning because to everything there is a first page or a first step. Everything in life starts, well, with the start of something. Whether is it the first step in the morning or being the first one in the door or even being the first one to say hello. Crazy to think that some long time ago, something was started and now you are here.

Well, here you are, whether you like it or not. And the moment is now. Tomorrow is to far away and yesterday is gone. Sometimes we get caught up thinking about the future or dwelling in the past, that we seem to forget that we are wasting time on the time that we have actual control over. That time is right now. Right now is what matters. 


Some people may think that living is easy and dying is hard. I beg to differ. Living is something you have to do constantly. But dying, that only happens once. Or more, if you run away from the light per say. I may sound like a broken record, but you only get one life, so you have to live it up.


This broken record and this beginning stuff was something that I disregarded, as many do, until life finally showed me what it meant. Life is funny that way. It takes you up, down and all around. It throws things at you and makes it eventful. It can be complicated, complex or awesome, depending how you look at it. All of it though becomes a mosaic of intricate parts. Life is what you make it to be. You can be happy or sad, you can see all the beauty or all the ugly and you can even find what makes each day extraordinary or just survive. I believe that everything happens for a reason and therefore I have stopped questioning life and now just enjoy the ride. 


Looking up, you see infinity. We are just a speck of what is way and beyond the horizon. Amazing to know that there is so much unknown. However, there is beauty in the unknown. In a moment you can realize that you are just another person in this world. But you aren't just anyone. Someone out there is thinking about you. Someone is missing you. And even, someone doesn't know the impact you will have in their life someday. In the same moment, you can be nothing and you can be everything. Yet, you are here and here you are not nothing. Reality is, you are someones everything and that's life!
