my most recent scribble! originally written for n.k. <3
dear reader,
i wish you the absolute best in life.
i hope all of your dreams come true, i hope you achieve everything you set your heart on, i hope you look back one day with pride at what you’ve accomplished and no regret at what might have been.
but most importantly-- worlds more importantly than anything you accomplish-- i hope you live a life full of joy and happiness and wonder. i hope you see beauty easily and experience novelty freely, i hope you see all of the world’s vibrant colors and traverse as much of this pale blue dot as you possibly can. i hope you breathe fresh sea air and walk through fields of wildflowers and hear the sounds of birds chirping in the morning. i hope you hike through forests and swim through oceans and stand in awe watching an aurora borealis unfold miraculously under a sky full of stars.
i hope you live life to the fullest, because-- in the wise words of someone’s grandmother, daughter, wife, sister-- we come here to live, and that is all that is asked of us.
to live.
not to do.
you are a human being, not a human working.
i hope you call yourself beloved and feel yourself beloved on the earth.
i hope you live a wild and precious life.
the extraordinary will take care of itself.
