Borrowed Time

Peace Truth

You have to chase the things that ignite you. You have to do the things that bring you joy. You have to surround yourself with the people who get you back home to yourself, with the people who respect you and embrace you in ways that make you feel like you are worthy and accepted and loved. You have to do the work to heal yourself, even when it hurts - especially when it hurts so that you do not continue to approach your life within the boundary of what is heavy within you.

You have to put yourself out there, and you cannot worry about what other people think; you cannot rob yourself of experience or happiness, or inspiration because you are scared of how you will be perceived. You have to be unapologetic in the way that you exist here. You have to believe that your ideas, hope, and deserving of taking up space. You have to think that you have a purpose.

Because our existence is finite, and as hard as that is to understand, as hard as that can be to connect with, from time to time, remind yourself that most humanly, we are all are living on borrowed time.

We live as if we are promised the experiences and the potential we are chasing as if we have control over what happens to us. But we don't, which is liberating because it is pressing - there is urgency within the oration. It is meant to wake you up.
