The First Day Of The Rest of My Life

April 27, 2019

Freedom, Creative Expression, Relationships, Love & Experiences

Today, I am no longer a victim of my past, nor a prisoner of my future.

I do not succumb to failure, there's no such thing.

I want independence; I want to write my own rules and live life my own way, and no one else's.

I want to love freely and wholeheartedly.

I want to travel and make friends with new faces; to experience the world through someone else's lenses, and with all my 5 senses.

I want to be fascinated and blown-away every single day, waking up every morning with a big smile on my face and an open heart turned towards the sun to welcome the dawn.

I want to fall in love, with myself, over and over and over and over and over again, and feel my body warm to the touch filled with immense heat and passion and a zest for life.

I want to experience pure and unbound ecstasy.

I want to breathe in the fresh air of the Alps, I want to swim in its cool springs, find myself sinking beneath waterfalls and wading in rock pools all along its valleys.

I want to squeeze every last rainbow drop of youth, and have it burst forth in a myriad of colours like paint in the air during the Indian festival of Holi.

I want to be filled, like a well, with a vast library of knowledge from which I can draw from; a wealth of knowledge that would bring me closer to my ancestors and transport me 1000 years ahead of my time.

I want to earn the wisdom of my fellow travellers so I can converse with the stars and the moon in the night sky.

I want to love and I want to be loved.

I want to dance under the moonlit heavens and sing at the top of my lungs, letting the winds carry my voice and my song to distant lands yet unknown and unheard of - "I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm so alive!"

I want to shower my love with kisses soft and light as feathers.

I want to sleep with the birds in the Amazon trees and run with the lions amidst the Serengeti.

I want to walk as far as my feet will take me, and embrace The Road Not Taken because that will make all the difference.

I want to share my life with another, with others, with everyone - because “no man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main."

I want to feel happiness radiating from the tips of my toes all the way to my fingertips, feel it emanating from my heart and spreading like wildfire through my veins, circulating life throughout my entire body. 

I want to be One with Love, with Spirit, with Everything.
