joy

unadulterated


unfiltered


no holds barred sheer joy


the celebrations


the incredible adrenaline rush


the madness of it all



the problem is, to be able to feel that way, you’ve got to be prepared for the depths as well. to be able to feel those unexplainable moments of heaven, you’ve got to go through the worst pits of despair.



when we open ourselves up, to attachments, material, personal or otherwise, it opens the gate to a whole lot more. like a double edged sword.




remember that day? the best day you ever had? think about it. yeah, you do don’t you? the day when everything seemed right in the world. maybe you even felt you could do anything, absolutely anything you wanted to.



now imagine a day as dark as this day was awesome. sucked into the night. world falling apart. all alone. the universe conspiring against you. all of it.


why, why, why would you allow yourself to feel that? to put yourself through that?





just so that you get through it, and feel like this.
