Following the rehabilitation instructions for my sprained ankle today, twisting and turning it very unpleasantly, I started wondering about all the things in life we take for granted. Health, for example, is most appreciated when it is temporarily or permanently threatened or damaged. Such a tiny thing as an ankle can affect your functions in more ways than you'd think but you don't see it before those functions are not possible anymore.
I wonder how many proud moments I would have more if I had accepted every complement sincerely given but thrown away by ridiculous underestimations and disbelieves. I wonder how many connections I have lost for fear of not looking into someone's eyes, allowing them to see inside while accepting the piece of soul they were offering. I wonder how many flowers have bloomed right next to me that I didn't have time to see, how many stars have fallen when I did not care to look.
Every feeling could be so much more if we really took a moment to immerse ourselves in them, letting them fill us completely. Emotions are one of the greatest gifts we are given; they make everything meaningful. We should celebrate them in good and bad, let them take control, bathe in the pool until our skin gets wrinkled and it's time for something else. Smiling from pure happiness even when nobody's watching, giving room for desire that in all its selfishness reveals your most sensitive, selfless intentions.
I do not want to take things for granted. I want the people in my life to know that even when I am not capable of saying it aloud, they mean the world to me, they are my world.
