List of life

The key to a happy life is having a short memory and a long reservoir of compassion.

This is something that I have always known but just found out.

This is something that has been in my mind for decades, but I didn’t find it until recently.

This is not to say that I have not been doing this or acted in this manner at some point in my past.

It is to say that we as people do things everyday that makes us who we are but we never understand it.

Everything is a perspective. It is up to you to understand what is happening.

Being the third wheel is never a fun thing unless you are a tricycle.

Ever feel like you are not in on the joke?

Ever feel like the joke is being taken out on you?

Ever feel like life is one big joke and you are just waiting for the punchline?

Stop waiting for it.

Stop being left out of the joke.

Being the third wheel is a terrible feeling, don’t be the third wheel to life.

Austin will make you soft.

Your mind will be lost if you forget to challenge it.

Nothing can be created that is not wanted to be created.

A disconnect happens when a connection is lost on a personal, physical and metamorphic level.

Growing old means you have to be mature.

Being mature means you have to remember to be childish.

Love your neighbors.

Love everything that is around you.

Love yourself.

Do not rely on others for your happiness.

Do not rely on exterior things to produce an internal journey.

Do not read this if you are hypocritical.

I am hypocritical so it is ok for me to write this.

Ok, what is this all about?

Why am I writing in this strange one line ramble?

These are strands of thought that have been racing through my mind.

I tried to sit down and write a story, I tried to sit here and entertain you, but I was defeated.

I defeated myself before I started because I am unsettled.

I am at another crossroads and need more information before I go further.

For this reason, I am unable to concentrate on a normal story.

I am not able to understand the beauty in the details that I once had.

Therefore, I will be on a crusade to find myself in Austin.

I will go forth into the world of Texas and stripe myself of everything.

I will be lost from everyone and everything in order to find that little piece I am looking for.

It is not large and there as it is always there.

I apologize for this post, but I needed to get this off of my mind.

I needed to let you, the reader, know that I am on this search so I can better provide the happiness that this little piece of the internet causes for you.
