What if I told you, this is it?

What if I told you that this is it? There’s nothing more to life. That life is just a series of good days and bad days, some days you will be over the moon, while others you will be under the weather. What if someone told you, once the chase is through there will always be another, and when you think the worst is over there’s always something that tops it. Same with all the positives, just when you thought you have done all that you can, you somehow still mysteriously surprise yourself that you still have more ways to grow.

You don’t see yourself as a successful person, but you still experience wins along the way, you don’t believe in bad luck but you can’t deny you’ve had better days. You want to tick all the checkboxes in life, but you’re impressing no one, you try not to care and you play it off as having a chilled personality, but you come across as aloof and people would ask you “why don’t things ever get to you?” They can’t read me, “yes, it’s working!”, they can’t read me, “oh no, they don’t understand me”.

But what if I told you, that’s it. In a sense life is just a continuum of all these things happening. Breaking out of patterns, forming new trends, fixing itself, breaking itself. Hurdles to jump, sometimes we need to take a few steps back, sometimes we need to stop completely. Sometimes rest is the best thing we can do, while other times not stopping for anything is the right call.

We always think we will be happy when things are better, because we think we aren’t good during the bad times. Sometimes we’re even scared that just because times are tough it will only get worst, but what if we anticipate that it gets better? What if it’s a given that some aspects will get better but naturally we should expect other areas are trending downwards?

But we are always growing in wisdom, experience and lessons learnt. We can hold our own better with each passing day if we let it, we don’t cast any judgement on the events that make our lives because things happen and will continue to happen and that’s the way the world go round and round.

What if someone told you life can continue happening in its ebb and flow momemtum and we will always be the person we are meant to be as long as we can detach ourselves. As such we can wholeheartedly embrace happiness as well as authentically willow in despair.

Because everything that is happening to us, just is.

This moment is both the most significant and the least significant thing to be. What if I told you, this is it and that is both a good thing and a bad thing depending on how you look at it…as such nothing is more than life itself.
