aware

There’s like this tide, a really big one, that dictates time. It sets the deadlines and the course of progress and it makes you trudge along. And I’m struggling against it, holding steadfast, defying the dates by not letting the calendar blur to one indistinguishable mess in my mind. I want to be so alive, always striving for this sanguinity. I’m real, and I’m here. I want to bead and laugh really hard and I want to ski and have the sweetest dreams ever, but I’ll take what I can get, and what I can give.
"The aim of life is to live and to live means to be joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware." -Henry Miller
