There's more to life than you think...

I have noticed lately how much resignation and cynicism there is in our world. It seems that at the base of everything, what people do and say, there is this underlying tone. It's something that must have always been there, but I'm just now beginning to notice it. I'm annoyed by it. I don't want to be surrounded by it. Everything is about looking good, and avoid looking bad. Anything that is out of the norm, anything that's different, anything that makes others happy but makes you sad makes the cynicism so apparent. It sickens me. What's the point? To be admired? To make other jealous of your perfect life? To punish your enemy? To make those who have hurt you wrong? Why are you wasting your life with these games? Your life is consumed by a game that will NEVER make you happy. Just me writing about this has made me cynical and resigned. What a vicious circle.

But then there are people I have surrounded myself with in my life who can genuinely live life without the cynicism. Or at least be open to the idea that there's more to life than always looking good. These are the people who I can feel 100% comfortable with being 100% myself. With out these people, I think I'd go insane. There's nothing more empowering that being around others who give you the power to be yourself. No judging, no bullshit. Just being present in the moment. It's beautiful. So thank you! Thanks for being there. Thanks for being open and honest. Thanks for trusting me. Thanks for having fun. Thanks for being yourself!
