Just be fucking cause!
These past few weeks have given me a slightly different perspective on life.
It has shown me how fickle we are as human beings,
How quickly we move on, completely erasing the memory of loved ones
Whether they have made mistakes or wrong decisions
Whether they died honorably or dishonorably
As long as the ripple they made in the pond of life,
does not live a permanent dent
We move right back, into the mundane, the day to day,
The senseless journey to eventual death.
So, I realize, what I already knew
That life has nothing to do with others and everything to do with the self
Do what you truly want to do, not what you think is needed or necessary
Do only what makes you truly happy
Spend time with the people you would like to spend eternity with
Undertake tasks which would bring you the most joy
Engage in activities, which, if you were the only person on earth,
accountable to no one, you would still do
There really is absolutely, positively, nothing you have to do,
except what you desire to do, and no one you have to be,
except exactly who you wish to be.
So, smile, if you feel like it
Dance if your mind tells you
Love, because it feels good
When it’s all said and done and “they” ask you, why you did, what you did,
tell them
Just be the fucking cause!
