Of Being High on Life

You are here: Home / Life / Of Being High on Life

October 1, 2020

Remember when you prayed for the things/life you have now.

Everyone asks how I have so much energy. I’ve been wondering about it too.

  • Perhaps because I’m an extrovert. I get so much energy from being around and with people. Of course, this is a highly curated set of people. I get so much energy from them.
  • I’m so pumped about the future. I truly believe that the future can be a better place. And that I can make it slightly better. It makes me jump out of bed!
  • People around me. Seriously I do not deserve them. They are the kindest, most beautiful souls that are incredibly supportive. They’re my cheerleaders, my sunshine when it’s gloomy, my safe harbour when it’s stormy outside. When I need help, the universe aligns people and help me to get to where I want to go.
  • And just in general, life is miraculous and wonderful. New cultures, new areas of exploration, old books, old stories untold.

I think I’ll never understand people who escape life by getting high on drugs. Because life itself is so wonderful, I’m perpetually high on life. Sure it’s a privilege to be me, and I’ve been through a bit to get to where I am today.

One thing that keeps coming back is being present. It’s to begin everyday like a miracle. It’s to stand still with time and simply just appreciating the now. We always think that the grass is greener on the other side, but to some people, we ARE the other side. In that case, aren’t I already where I would have liked to be? If that is the case since rationally it holds, then I better start appreciating everything I have right now!

And thus, I’m just perpetually high on life. High on the now. High on simply being.

Q3 just ended and I welcome Q4 with open arms. It’s been truly beautiful and wonderful. Necessary evil Q2 was an important phase and turning point in life. And Q3 was a forward stepping stone. Q4 will be filled with new challenges, new level up, new lessons learnt. I’m both excited and quite fearful, but fearful as a precaution.

I’m so grateful for the most wonderful people and support system. I appreciate them so much and in my next life, I hope I find these people again and give back 100x. My heart. Oh it’s exploding with fullness.

Love,
L

Ps: I can cry happy tears every single day, when I think about how beautiful life is. Seriously, I don’t deserve all these wonderful beautiful souls and strangers. How did the universe ever align our paths and allow them to cross? Oh wonderful people 🥰
