One two three four, one two three four, one two three four, and that is how we dance. If you haven’t the rhythm to move on your own, that is.
Creating formulas for life do make the difficult sections and foreign activities much more simple but they rob the spice out of it. Drama is part of life, chaos is the opposite shore of tranquility on the river of consciousness, pain and pleasure work just the same rotations too. There are life coaches and clever aphorisms until the world floods and the sun blows up. Those are there because one decides they can’t hang. There is a serenely true beauty in the depths of pain and the overflowing destructive ecstasy in this reality we are enveloped in. Denying those is farsighted! However it may be the only logical and possible way of surviving with a pattern, a flow of life that is “livable”. Companies will give you phrases, schools give you motto’s and songs, families have coats of arms and traditions and they all fall short because they all line you up out of traffic to play in. Because its dangerous and unruly. That is the spice of life! Uniformity will save you from yourself because the truest you is one who is exposed, beaten, overjoyed and all to all fully experienced. To die without having hitch hiked or climbed the great wall of China or robbed Disneyland to give some random children candy their parents wouldn’t buy them is to really have died, not to truly have lived.
The boundaries of safe mottos and strong ideals are not ones to be overlooked or tossed aside for they exist to put structure and understanding to the world we experience. Don’t drop that but leave the freedom to move on past it to something new. If one person broke your heart and you made a stand to never make that mistake it again, then you are probably guilty of creating some sort of rule that you should really let go of. Intense pains lead to intense defenses and sometimes they can be beneficial for getting past the hurt they will hold you back in the future. Do not let a functional fixedness to life stick you in a single story. You are free to do more and the universe wants you to do more.
Enjoy the chaos and dance freely. Chase something your heart desires and undo some knots you’ve tied to keep yourself on the boat. The storm is over, go for a swim.
