Recently my brain has evicted all negative thoughts. I have pushed out unneeded anxiety, fear of what I don’t know, stress and the weight of things I don’t need to carry. I’ve discovered life is about moments. It’s about who’s in front of you, it’s about how you make other people feel. The thing I’m most excited for on this trip is leaving behind all things of this world. Leaving behind my own doubts and insecurities and the minuscule things in life that I put way too much energy in, and just going. Going and focusing on people, on love, on sunsets and sunrises and Jesus. Focusing on the things that matter and remembering that joy always wins.
That’s what I’m really learning. That joy wins. That I could have the worst day, I could feel the weigh of a thousand worlds, completely unsure that I’ll ever feel light again, and the next day: joy.
Happiness comes in waves sometimes, but it always finds you again. And it’s usually better than the last time you felt it.
That’s the beauty of it all I guess, the extremes of life. The incomprehensible lows that make even the smallest bit of joy seem overpowering.
Be mindful of what you give your energy to. I’ve learned it’s really all up to us.
