The purpose of life is to be alive

The purpose of life is to be alive.

To inhabit a human body, 

To become intimate with all its aches and pleasures.

To feel all the feels,

To taste the different textures of emotions.

To have a mind, 

To be amazed by its brilliance and also suffer at its mercy.

To think we’re broken.

To realise we’ve always been whole.

To forget who we are.

To remember who we are. 

To date the “wrong” people.

To notice they were the perfect teachers.

To search for the One.

To recognise WE are the One.

To have soul-crushing arguments and fights.

To feel the relief of a reconciliation.

To close our hearts in fear.

To open our hearts in trust.

To walk away because we’re afraid.

To stay even if we’re afraid.

To lose things and be filled with grief.

To comprehend we can never truly lose anything.

To feel completely alone.

To have a moment of closeness sharing a breath with another.

To embody our humanness.

To soften into our divinity.

To eat a silky chocolate truffle that melts in our mouth. 

To listen to the perfect playlist while on a road trip.

To deeply yearn for love.

To be broken open by love.

To realise we ARE love.

This experience is short. Live it fully.
