Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
what i've learnt in my very limited years here on the earth so far, is that life is miserable but holy fuck man life is so beautiful. like i get to walk outside and see the sunset. i get to hang out with my friends and giggle and cry and gossip. i get to hug my family. whatever comes before or after this life does not matter. here right now is so beautiful. does the make the world any less fucked up? no. but that just makes me realise more as to how privileged i am to have all that i do. i will probably forget this in a few hours and start worrying about what i don't have. but i'm always grateful for what i do have. life's beautiful man. talk to your friends, go on a walk.
I know right now, with everything that's going on in the world, it feels like the night will last forever, it's darkness stretching out for years and years ahead. But I have to say that one day, the soft pull of life will tug at you. You'll find yourself sitting quietly in the summer months enjoying the warm rays and the birdsongs, maybe you plant some flowers or berrys. You'll laugh till your sides ache and your heart lightens. You'll make art and get paint on your clothes and on your carpet. You'll read books your friend recommend and gush over your favourite characters together, maybe you'll write your own. That's what's getting me through, that one day it will be summer, the days soft and I'll have my book finished in my hands and maybe someone will read it. Maybe they won't. But it's things like this, the soft things, that make everything worth it.
