Life is short
It’s really short
There are always going to be things that seem so big or so difficult they snag a little bit on your throat
And it may make you gag a little
or full blown nauseous
but, just remember,
Life’s so short
It’s really short.
Ten years ago you wouldn’t have thought of how today feels like right now
how it sits on your bones and licks your skin;
Five years ago, you couldn’t even see which one of this and that you were choosing
and you go one year, back from today,
could you remember what it was like?
How it was so boring, so damn different, and so heavy
So just lean into it and say it:
I love you.
Thank you,
for being there with me.
I’m scared,
that I’ll never forget you.
No,
actually,
that I’ll never forget how this feels
—that I’ll never find something better
even though this wasn’t complete.
Lean into it and do it.
Jump the plane.
Fly the ocean.
Swim the seas.
Life is too short.
It’s really short,
and what we make of it
