There’s a lot to be gained from acknowledging I’ll lose it all–that no matter what happens, the game of life will come to an end.

Obviously, I need to generate a certain amount of stability, so I have options and choices instead of being locked into a state of constant reaction.

I suppose once I have sufficient stability, I’m faced with a choice between focusing more on perpetuation, or putting my energy into more chaotic and creative pursuits. I don’t see either as wrong or right; I believe it’s simply a personal choice.

  1. I agree. I’m not sure that there even is a right or wrong, honestly. In a way, everything is perpetuation but then again when we apply our energy to the situations things do shift. Half the time I end up utterly convinced that I’m doing things wrong and there must be a better way, but then again I have to make the choices I can live with based on the options I have available, just like everybody else.

    1. I have settled into the admittedly cliche idea of trusting my heart, doing my best, and taking the next seemingly right step. Too many things I thought were bad turned out to be good (sometimes it took years), so I just naively assume things will be good in the long run. 😊

  2. It’s funny that the one incontrovertible truth- that we all have expiration dates- is the one we don’t quite take in. Still. I think things DO work out in the long run and it’s much better to put your energy THERE. Thank you for this!

    I think the best part is that it ends. Imagine how we’d feel if it didn’t? I’ve seen how the vampire Lestat reacted.

    1. Yeah, we’d probably do all the good things, all the bad things, then I’m not sure what

        Do all the bad things but with improvements? The ultimate improv!

  4. This is the truest statement I’ve heard in awhile. In reality all we can do is hope for the best and plan for the worst. I always look at life as one big chess game.
