So. Many. Feels.

I just want to start this post out with some generalized, romantic statement about life, because life has been happening so much. 

Honestly, I never realized how great things could be, but they are. 

In the next couple days, I'll have to say goodbye to some of my best friends. I'm really sad, because I love them. This last semester has taught me the necessity of a good group of friends. 

So, reader, I don't know (necessarily) who all of you are, but I wish you well. 

This thought process has just occurred to me and it's overtaking my mind.

Dear Reader, I wish you well. 

I wish you love and loss. I wish that you will understand that life happens when you let it. 

In so many ways, you won't be able to predict it's beauties, for they are their own wilderness. I wish that you will be able to see them with me. I hope you can sit back and enjoy a sunset or birds as they fall and swoop in the sky. 

I hope you can look into the eyes of someone who loves you and feel the explosion, the filling feeling of selfless love. I hope you dance in the arms of the person you intend to marry.

I hope you can share this experience with as many people as possible, because it's is so fucking beautiful. I feel alive with words, drunk on sunlight and fulfilled with the creation around me. 

Live. If you do anything, Live. 

You only live once. I'm an atheist and I truly believe this statement. So do everything, feel everything, experience the world with the understanding that you only get this beauty once. Know that every second is important and everytime you look into the eyes of someone you love could be your last.

We human beings are fools of the words "it won't happen to me." 

People Die. Loved ones, mothers, fathers, aunt, uncles, sisters, brothers-- they all die. Love them while you can, because each of our lives and existences is a mere blip in the big picture. We are blinks and fragments of moments and I hope that you will love that to its fullest. 

I hope you love. I hope you read this and you can see that even though I may not know you, I love you. I love this life. It is dark, it is bright, it is gray and it is every color in existence. 

Cliche or not, this is what we have and I hope that you get to have it all.

Love, 

Amanda
