A LETTER TO YOU
Time is one of the most powerful elements of our existence. Time is a continuous set of numbers that never slows down or speeds up to stay on track with us. We have to stay on track with it. It's constantly on replay giving us hours, minutes, and seconds to live our lives giving us measurements of moments to go create memories and shape who we are. I hate how controlling time is. It sets up how long we have to wait for everything. Lengths of our ages, school days, years, the beginnings and the endings. But what if we did have control over our own time? Life would be chaotic and messy and everyone would be on a different track, the amount of time right for them. So for now we have to be okay with the numbers that rule our lives- because within those numbers, we have control on how we use them. How we make the most of them, what we do with the endless amounts of free living and growing given to us every single day. That is something so magical about life. Everyday is a gift. We get christmas EVERYDAY!! Everyday we get the opportunity to learn and grow and achieve the things we never thought we could. The world gives us beautiful resources of lessons and love and living and we get to choose what we want to take and make of it. You have to think of it like this- our life is a blank template with it all set up for us. With time, and everything else our world provides us, we operate how it will change us. How it will affect us. How we BECOME OUR OWN PERSON! (Mind blown). But with time, there is also sadness. It doesn't always give us rainbows and daises. We have to be able to experience negativity and disparity and sadness sometimes. Because from that, we are able to become stronger, more well rounded people. It sucks though. I would never wish that on anyone. But sadly, life happens. Shit happens. And we have to be okay with that. In those moments it feels as if your whole world is crumbling and you won't ever be able to see yellow sunlight again. Trust me, I feel you. But from my own experiences I've learned to treat every moment of sadness and negativity as a gift. THANK YOU for happening!! Because now I have LEARNED!! Now I have become more AWARE. My eyes have opened even bigger and BRIGHTER and I can see every detail in a panoramic view because of it. Blessings in disguise occur everyday. Instead of dwelling on why something had to happen to you, or feeling pity for yourself, treat it as a free present. Because it's okay that you didn't know in that moment of time what to do, or if it was the right decision, or whatever it may be or have been. Be thankful for it.
These are the years to love so graciously. These years are our rollercoaster that takes us on the wildest ride with lots of ups and downs along the way. Enjoy it all. Even when times are hard. Make it the TIME of your life! Keep filling up your template and creating the best version if you. The real, truest, craziest, loveliest you. And if along the way your rollercoaster gets stuck and doesn't know what to do, or where to go next, just know- you will get there. Love yourself and accept everything you have throughly with deep passion and motivation even if at times it causes you to disperse within the slopes. Love your ugliest and love your most beautiful. We all have a place here. We all are destined for something beyond our knowing. Uncertainty is so fascinating. For where you don't make a bond of love, but rather it be a moving sea between the shores of your soul as you dive into the shallows of new becomings. Having everything doesn't make you better than any other person in any way. Because when fishing for what you don't have will only make it harder to find the catch when the treasure lies within the balance of TIME, significance, and igniting passion. I promise you now, you will get there. Don't ever give up.
“It is what it is. It was what it was. It will be what it will be. Don’t stress it.”
I'm writing this letter to you because I know what its like to give up. I once fell in love without loving myself, I lost complete track of myself. I gave away my heart and felt things I never knew was possible to feel. How was I supposed to know what would happen? How was I supposed to know what to do? I didn't. I beat myself up about it for so so long thinking I was always wrong and I wasn't ever good enough. Until recently, I realized that it's OKAY. I wasn't supposed to know. But I have become a stronger, smarter person because of it. I have learned more than you could ever imagine. I never hide, but always seek. I dance within the blissful music of my own adventures. And sometimes I go a day without eating fruits and veggies. We gotta live a little. Even more than a little. Because no matter what, and within this all, the world keeps spinning. The world keeps spinning and life keeps moving and prospering with nothing but good. There is SO much life to live so go out and be crazy. Make mistakes. Find the best taco shop. Stalk someone cute you see on the streets. These are YOUR years, and this is YOUR TIME. So why waste any moment to learn and grow and become the craziest happiest you? I have a lot to say and a lot to gossip to you about- but I think it's time to go discover and reveal some new mysteries now. All these clues life gives us everyday is just too exciting to ignore. Oh how I love a good mystery. (What if we are all actually just secret agents finding evidence and clues to figure out life itself, that would be awesome.) You are the rarest most beautiful gemstone you'll ever find, so don't go trading it for any other. The flowers keep blooming, the waves keep crashing, the stars keep glowing. And there is so much love and happiness that we can give. Don't ever give up.
To the moon & back, Maddy.
