Letting go of the need to know

You can't know everything. You can barely keep up with what's happening in your life right now, let alone knowing about someone else's too. Everything you know is based in the past, you are not aware of all the things that happen around you, and it's fine, it's more than you could ever begin to understand. Take this in, and let it be okay. Everything changes, and that's the only constant in the universe, it all moves, mutates. What remains are memories, and the fact that they transformed doesn't mean they were a lie. Change doesn't make the past less of a truth. But don't get caught up in how things were and how things are. Be present, practice mindfulness and forgiveness. Awake yourself. Breathe with your whole body, and let it all go, be open to what has to come. Everything that happens has it's reason of being, and it's rightful time. Accept what is, and what was, embrace it as lessons learned that helped you shape who you are now. Go out and let the sun soak inside your every cell, let the mild breeze sweep you off your feet and feel the immensity of the universe, for you are made of stars and your eyes reflect galaxies. Find peace within yourself, and pave your own path. You can make from reality and the future what you want by focusing on the right thoughts, but don't get this wrong, you are not your thoughts. If you take away space all you have is here, if you take away time all you have is Now. Praise the love, embrace the one you receive, and return it with every atom. Don't let life pass you right by. Be here, now. And just breathe, the universe takes care of everything else.
