Undisclosed Ending

When we think of life I would say most of us think about what life is going to look like, where we are going to be, how we are going to acquire what we want.... What do we want? I am perplexed by this constantly. 

It is hard for me to figure out what clothes I like and mostly I wait for what I acquire or what is handed to me because I can make that work. To make a decision is so hard - and at times pointless. I feel like we make opportunities but ultimately we are going to end up somewhere we were not really expecting in the first place. We may end up in the general atmosphere of where we were hoping but I think we underestimate the climate. 

Life is wild, people are wild and the planet is our habitat to understand the complexities of these interactions. There will always be the predator, there will always be the fight to claim a territory and there will always be the opportunity to explore. This may not relate itself into the physical form, but emotionally, spiritually, mentally or consciously this battle will occur. 

I recently watched a documentary that showed mountain goats living on sheer cliffs, claiming that space with their utmost ability. Completely capable and elegant as they did their thing living and surviving. What I found interesting was: the cliffs were the place these goats evolved too and from and this was mainly due to safety - which made me think. We are all animals, we are all seeking safety and the safer we are the more we can grow and own our space. 

Danger will always be there, the chance that we may not survive is part of the daily equation; however, the safer we feel, the safer we are, the more we are able to create the relationships that allow us to experience the joy in life. No matter what happens we will experience the journey we are on through: sadness, strength, optimism, realism, escapism or suffering but, I truly feel that, the more settled we feel the better we can survive the journey we are traveling. 

Life will never be easy, but it is something that will be lived. The next chapter is the topic we as people need to discus a bit more as it is something we will all reach. It is okay to be afraid, apprehensive, curious, angry, ready or all of the above - none of us really know how life and death will affect us and that is okay.
