Discretion

How do you put overwhelming feelings into words?
Sometimes we can't and we do a gesture instead.
Whispering into another's ear.
A tight hug.
A phonecall.
Flowers.
Cards.

The expectations that run high on adrenalline.
The thrill from the roller-coaster ride.
The high from a colourful drug.
You can never get enough of it because you feel so damn good after that.
Like how life moves so fast, you can never keep up.

How changes sometimes become obstacles.
Obstacles of growth or set backs.
Could we ever gage the potential of the self?
Or maybe we should just take the advice of 'Do what you want' - OK GO.
Sometimes the wrong things may turn out to be right.

We just have to learn to breath, to take notice, to scream.
When frustration takes over, there is no going back.
When you're sleepy go forward with a cup of coffee.
When you're stuck in a traffic jam, try breaking some rules.
When you run out of ideas, make a self-made smoothie totally by impulse.
All alternatives have the good and the bad.

Avoidance will take you no where but leave you at the intersection.
Sitting on the open road, make a choice.
If you ended up in Vegas instead of New York, it isn't too bad to roll some dices.
Maybe get drunk and married for no apprent reason.

When the sun shines, soak it up.
When it rains, walk in it.
Uncertainty includes big risks - it could cost your life, it could change your world.
Certainty is similar.
The only difference?
You won't mind the setbacks. You go for it.
We are all ordinary but what we do with life makes us extraordinary.
