Your existence is what you make it to be

and so for you to experience the wonderfulness of life, you have to change your mindset and dwell on the positives keeping the negatives in check and learning from them without them destroying you.  If you can find a way to be satisfied, or at least a way for your wandering soul to be still even if only for a moment, that makes your time to exist worthwhile.   Let your spirit run free within the stillness like a caterpillar tucked within its cocoon.  Find something inspiring that you’re passionate about and then break free of the chains holding you back.  You’ll be reborn anew with wings that’ll carry you anywhere and you’ll be at peace, or as close to a state of true happiness as anyone can be.
