Simply Life.

Often, we end up staring at a closed door for so long that we fail to appreciate the window that has been opened for us. I've been guilty of this myself. We mourn the death of something; a missed opportunity, a failed relationship, a wrong choice, more than it deserves. We're so caught up with the glamour of what could've been and miss out on the what could be. After all, change is the only constant that we can truly rely upon. Time and Life are always moving forward and yet, we seem to be more interested in becoming stagnant. Even a pool of stagnant water is nothing, but a breeding ground. I've always wondered why we're so reluctant about trying newer things. Or adamant about moving past something that didn't quite work out. We build up these situations in our minds to a point of perfection and usually not for what they truly are. The mourning isn't for these failed opportunities, but the disappointment we experience from not having our expectations met. And sometimes, it could simply be our safe zone. Our comfort zone. Stepping out of this requires letting go of our baggage, our weaknesses, our past failures, freeing ourselves from guilt, and accepting Life. Accepting Life in its entirety, for everything it has to offer, and more. In fact, the best things in life are unseen.
