"There's beauty in the breakdown."

Let go...let go...jump in...

It's interesting how relocating (my adult way of referring to leaving everyone you know and love with the exception of a few individuals 1,000 miles away, located directly in your comfort zone) can prompt you to learn things about yourself that you never knew; and some things you never wanted to know, to be frank.

I have found that "laying back" is surprisingly easy and that my friends, is SUCH a strange feeling for me. I have found that it's quite easy to leave work at work when the expectation is that you do so. I have found that not having anything to do all weekend long is, at certain points in life, the birthing ground for flying kites and becoming a kid again.

I have also found that my mind quiets quite easily if only in spurts at this junction, which also, my friends, is SUCH a strange feeling. I have found it quite easier to leave things where they are and allow yourself a chance to soak in whatever is floating out there, even if it may be less than thrilling.

Because, after all, life isn't always thrilling. Sometimes, life twirls around in your insides and shakes things up a bit. Platforms and soap boxes shake and microphones into which you've been screaming for eons topple over with surprisingly little force. Life isn't always about knowing what lies ahead or for that matter caring all that much what lies just past the horizon. More often than not, life is simply about embracing what lies...period.

And that my friends, is how it's done.
