Life is a Holiday.. from Oblivion.
As I was chatting to a guest at my 21st bash (my bros 22nd) last night; this thought came to me. My Manichean perspective of life is that I will drop dead and I will live forever. Le sens de le phrase is that everyday burdens don't get to me; as Steve Jobs said do you want to be getting up in the mornings. However I also know that I have to grow and contribute to a very long life.
Eternity is found in the seconds...
Life is so unbelievably rich and this is spoken with a jaded wisdom, which belie my 21yrs of age (on the 15th of Dec). Banking, uni and work, particularly at the crazy ages that I did them, have given eyes that have seen much. This said there is so much to look forward in perhaps the simplest pleasures, the rustling of an autumn leaf, that there is no happily ever after it's happily ever now.
I find it a large error, for want of a better term, when folks claim that they can only be happy if so and so happens, or if they pull that person. My advice (from some random quote) what I will live and die by, part of Zack's canon if you will, is
Find the Courage to Be Happy.
