Not everyone walks through life
with a care in the world.
Hardly anyone
survives the smallest occurrences
or dies
for a reason.
Not many get what they deserve,
either being punished
or rewarded
for the wrong cause.
Our galaxy is frightening
when we know
that we are as old as the universe
since matter can never be
created nor destroyed.
We are the center point
of this planet,
spinning on our axis,
as we take in
the burning rays of pressure.
Nobody has ever been
in the same physical location
more than once
since Earth,
the Solar System,
and the galaxy
are always moving.
Yet nobody is taking risks
when the truth is that we'll never be
in this exact moment ever again.
One minute,
you can love a novel,
and once the author kills
your favorite character,
you can instantly stop
flipping the pages.
However,
I've realized that when you get hurt
by someone you love,
you can't help but still love them.
When you wake up
and catch your eyes on the morning sunrise,
someone else
is watching that very one too.
We are all in this world together,
standing on the same ground,
breathing in the same air,
experiencing similar events.
Yet we still end up
feeling alone.
It only takes 2.5 seconds
to text back "hi,"
yet so many choose
to keep people on Read.
I've discovered that you have to stop
waiting for those people
and start diving into new relationships
because nobody
should take an advantage
of your kindness.
The best feeling in the world,
however,
is when you realize that
out of the millions of people
living on this planet,
you ended up
meeting that person.
Life is a ripple affect,
and the smoothest pebbles
always seem to be skipped across our ponds in the end.
As unjust and terrifying,
as tedious and heartbreaking,
as captivating and coincidental,
as much as life
is one long,
emotional rollercoaster,
the truth is,
this
is
reality.
