Blowin' in the wind

I don’t believe security is something you can obtain externally or through someone else, but pretty much only by being happy with who you are as a person and what you’re doing with your life.

Tomorrow your house could burn down, your partner could be unfaithful, leave you or die. A massive earthquake could irrevocably shake your world, or worse. No matter who you are, how much you have or how popular you are, your life can be turned upside down in an instant from something you didn’t see coming. Nothing in life is a dead cert.

I love seeing people live with all their might, rather than trying to hold onto things for dear life. Security is a myth and trying to grasp it tightly won’t make a blind bit of difference in the end. Like one of my friends always tells me, we all die alone.

The world around us will not be controlled, so why try. Live well, be kind. Laugh, love, smile lots and be your dreams. Feel. Take risks. Go where your heart and your head lead you. Be open minded.

I’m used to relying on myself and living on my wits to some extent, but it doesn’t mean I don’t get scared. Only I’m not sure whether it’s change or stagnation that I find more scary.
