I had a conversation with Life the other day.

Hi. And so we meet again. There you are. Standing there. Laughing there. I wonder what’s funnier, the fact that I’m standing here like a fool, or that I haven’t died yet.

But you keep laughing at me, I don’t care. I look at you and smile. Take me above the highest mountains like rock climbers, beyond the rivers like sleeping whales, up the valleys towards the clouds like cotton, and through the molecules of air that surround me between my mediums, my inner thoughts, and my goals.
Make me run those miles, make me hear those lies. You fire anyone who doesn’t seem fit for the job, and cruel you are in your decisions. I breathe your air, I play in your water, I love your people. I am a selfish human being that wants everything, everyone, and love. Selfish human beings, yes we are. We never settle for the beautiful rainbow over the rain with us lying under it. No, we will think beyond that beautiful rainbow, and imagine a gorgeous galaxy, somewhere far beyond our measures and sights. I know what I came here to do, so don’t you DARE stand in my way, defining me and telling me I can’t. I came this far didn’t i? Surely you haven’t stopped me so far. I am a cripple in disguise, only to come out well in the end, but I will never be satisfied, and neither will you. Never be satisfied when there’s something more out there. Only the foolish are satisfied. Always remember there’s something more. We are selfish human beings, we only want the best, but even the best isn’t good enough. And that’s ok. Because ill have the best one day then ill throw it in your face, not because of me. But because of what you, life, have taught me, never settle for less when you can have more. Why wait for a gentleman to open the door for me when I can break right into it? Why tip-toe between broken glass when I can vacuum the flaws away and place a red carpet! Life, Are you aiming for the sky? Well ill aim higher than you and I’ll make it, with one tear and two sweats and a million smiles on my face, and ill stab your heart, ill stab you soul I won’t ever stop, not unless i reach my goal. After all these years you’ve disciplined me well enough, now I know, what you know: Never settle for less when you can settle for more.


Life is in session. Good night.
