Life’s Magic is Living Each Day as the Last.

Hello Friend,

In some beautiful corner in my heart is a throne, a pretty story, a homely imagination, or a reality I see too often than anyone else. It comes in as my salvation experience, the best of its kind & knowing I have this helps me pull through each day with a bank of memories — fat & thin. It’s not a function of being pushed or pressured to feel these things I cannot describe in words — there’s an endless peace to it, a calmness I’m certain of. I always crave for it & maybe, craving isn’t the right word for me. I know it’s broader than wishes too — the meaning of this experience is far beyond that.

It’s my forever fantasy shaping the best & of worst of who I am to myself & to others. To those I love, I’m quick to say “I love you; I care for you, or even something more”. Not just once but always because it makes me happy. & to those I’m not sure about their status in my life — I know how well this feeling keeps them in-between. I’ll leave out the backstabbers, those always misjudging my being me for being vulnerable or something dark & rusty. They really don’t know too much about what goes on inside me. Thinking too much about ignorance builds a home for foolery — anyways, it’s always safe to love everyone the best way you can.

This life, the very one I have, is all there is to me now. It’s my open cheque, my imperfect perfection, my groovy beat & the very chance I’ve got at being free & boundless. Truth be written somewhere close, my life isn’t the first to be what it is now, so many lives have been something close or even worse. So many lives have been opposite too but inside mine is the definition of what those lives could have been, are & will be. I am the only version of myself there ever will be, so I choose to live it wholly. I choose to make my mistakes, take the risks, try the gym, seal the deals, read the books, get the grades, speak my truth, make new friends, check into the new environments & do that which keeps me at peace.

An innate war is too much a cost for a wave of peace without. There is just too much to be done with what I have & time is no joke at shedding off the uniqueness of each second. Time waits for no one as my life spans towards an end. The best of what I now have is me being me & dreaming bigger than yesterday. I’ll not refuse to pay attention to tomorrow but first, today counts before anything else.

I really wish you know this too, that what you make out each day is what will keep you alive forever — even when you are gone. Life’s magic is living each day as the last & being happy about what you did. For me, changing the narrative is what makes me truly happy each day — I mean, making people see the best in themselves & all there is to them. It’s a calling, a devotion & a commitment I love to spend my life on. I may not be there yet but sitting in this dark room, hitting up my keyboard for strength & grace from God, not just to string up words but to bless every life reading this, is something I will always be grateful for.

I guess it’s time to make your day count too. It’s time to give meaning to every second, minute & hour you’ve got. It will not always be perfect — perfect things need imperfect things to be validated. You are too much of a beautiful soul, too filled with all there is to be great — so live your life & make it count today.
