I love listening to soul music, reading about soulful things, and expressing my soul. I feel like my life is a continuous attempt to experience the world, and the only way to make sense of everything that happens is to express the things I feel deeply about. At some moments, that expression comes in buying one kind of cheese over another or choosing which pair of sunglasses to wear, and sometimes, it takes a writing in my journal to understand what I want and to recenter myself. Every experience has the potential to be an obstacle in my life if I do not accept it and adjust to its effects. After time, obstacles can begin to feel like routines. But routines can be the most pleasurable adventures. I can get excited with every decision I make and be happy about the benefits each choice brings to my life. Even if everything is not perfect, if I make each moment special, I can feel good in my days. If I have served a purpose on this planet or changed something for the improvement of the future, I feel valuable.
I indulge in the pleasures of life so that I can continue to participate in it, for without the experience of pleasure, I would not work so hard to get more of it. I will never have everything I want because, then, I would stop wanting things. I never want to lose that feeling of excitement when I find something I want. It's even more exciting when, after I put in the effort, am able to experience for myself the thing I had found and had to get. This is the creation of a life. Letting myself indulge in the things I work so hard to make a part of my life inspires me to keep working, keep creating, and keep the cycles of life in perpetual progression. I am thankful for everyone and everything that I experience on a daily basis and I am thankful for having the time to relish in the satisfied spirit that fills my soul.
