…about life, amongst other things.

it’s about finding happiness in what you do, who you are and in the surroundings you’ve chosen and the choices you make. happiness is elusive and difficult to define, but i think it’s best recognized as something that comes mingled with your aspirations, pride and ultimately, contentment, no matter how subjective these things are.

it’s about honesty, as this is how life is easiest lived. no matter how horrible, tough, life-altering or hateful the truth is, you can count on it to ’set you free’. truth has a right in it’s own, a supremacy it derives simply from being just itself : the truth. the truth has a power to make hard things easier and wrong things right, to give you an upper hand in every situation you choose to use it, to do justice to the worst scenarios. be honest. about your feelings, about your opinions, about who you are and what you want. never underestimate the power of the truth, and telling it.

it’s about decisions. life is all about choosing between one thing and another, wanting to know all your options but at the same time wishing there weren’t so many, wanting to feel like you’re making the right choice, wanting reassuarance that even if you don’t, the world won’t fall apart. life is really what you want it to be. in it’s essence, it becomes what you make of it.
