I Am Ready

Shit’s been – hard – lately. And I need some lightness. Some life.

I am ready to remember that I am…

Fun.

I like life with a wink and a nudge.

Not the creepy kind of nudge. The fun kind. The kind that says “Hey, did you see that?” The kind that’s ready and waiting to be amused, to be entertained. The kind that says “Isn’t this existence weird and crazy? Isn’t this voyage random and amazing?”

Are you having fun? Is your train car full of lights and colors and sounds and silliness? Want to come and hang out for a little while in mine instead?

I want to play and laugh and dance and spin. I want to sing and be silly and collapse into an unrepentant heap of giggles. I want to find the fun and the joy and the madness, even in the pain and the dark. I want to remember that each day is an adventure. Each person I meet is a chance to see life in a different way. Each moment is a chance to smile, even if it’s through tears.

Want to come with?
