Experiencing life shouldn’t be a chore. I am not on a mission of desperate grasping at some unachievable goal.  It is not that some day I will arrive, but I am already here.

Life is meant to be experienced fully, with enthusiasm in knowing that even the challenges and blockages are happening for the opportunity to feel, know, and grow into who I am.

If I could spend less time labeling and quantifying my experiences, less time hanging on to what should or was supposed to be, I might just find less restlessness, less fatigue, and less despair about what is perceived as lacking, out of reach or lost.

Here I find myself — not by hanging on but by hanging out.
