From the very second fresh air hits our lungs
Merely moments after birth, we are expected to be extraordinary.
Extraordinary lives are dreamt up for us
Extraordinary hopes are kept for us
Extraordinary thoughts are thought for us
And so we believe that there are only two options ; extraordinary or nothing.
Choose nothing. Choose ordinary.
Choose a life where mistakes are just as beautiful as triumphs.
Choose a life where there is always more,
a life where the only version of “extraordinary” that exists is in the tiniest of doses.
The most magical of doses;
like a sunset that lingers just above the horizon, long enough for a warmth to wash over the day and the next thing you know, it’s gone.
You could blink and very well miss it.
Or
A single touch from someone, and in that moment all you feel is love, whole, home.
Don’t go looking to find extraordinary or to be extraordinary.
It’ll find you.
