At the moment, I\u2019m eating a bowl of delicious cantaloupe. At the moment, well, I\u2019m quite happy. It\u2019s been awhile since words were embedded onto this website, my personal \u201cblog\u201d, my escape from the harsh truths and false objectives of reality, it\u2019s all a bit chaotic really, especially what has developed in my life &#8212; but &#8212; yes there\u2019s a but, it\u2019s all quite beautiful. Since then, I watched countless films, I read a meaningful and wonderful book, and I went on several adventures. Overall, I\u2019m quite happy &#8212; but never satisfied. That might sound a bit grim. You may interpret it as being slightly pessimistic, I understand, but it\u2019s quite the opposite. You can be happy, and delighted, and very avid about your good fortunes, but please, don\u2019t be satisfied, because once you are, there\u2019s nothing to strive for. I am strictly \u2018talking\u2019 about your ambitions in life, not an actual living entity, or monad, or human being, in case you\u2019re curious. Don\u2019t be satisfied, or you\u2019ll be stagnant in life, instead be adventurous and soar through your creative and absolutely gorgeous mind. Soar like a magic carpet, or a paper airplane, or even a origami pterodactyl, soar until you\u2019ll find happiness, and once you get to that destination, plan another adventure, plan the next several until your hands get the permanent sea waves of skin, the dash of humble grey in your hair, or when you can turn smiles into laughter. Be adventurous until your last chapter, in life.<\/p>\n<p>Since the year started, I felt the love from many people, and sadly\u00a0the devastation of mournful hearts, life can be such a pleasant but cruel predicament. It\u2019s all quite intense. I seen a lovely couple multiplied by fifty,\u00a0an adorable daughter abruptly losing her beautiful mother, and two unlikely dilemmas subtly falling in love. That\u2019s life. There are hardships and blessings, unfortunately, we must endure both in the same scope. Death is imminent, but life is immense.<\/p>\n<p>But you know what? Possibly, this post is mumbo-jumbo or rubbish to you, it\u2019s a walking self-indulgent, awful clich\u00e9. A bumper sticker.<\/p>\n<p>I have absolutely no idea what you\u2019re doing. That\u2019s the best possible answer I can give you when you ask, \u201cWhat is life?\u201d, because we\u2019re contrasting beings with common affairs, nothing more, nothing less.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s about it, I guess. I would love to continue this magnificent rant, but I have dreams to discover and terrains to sleep on.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time, safe travels.<\/p>\n<p>Dedicated to Manang Teresa.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Wilson, &#8220;<em>Dream(s)<\/em>&#8221;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F4280455&player_height=&player_height_multi=&player_width=&player_type=visual&color=&auto_play=&show_comments=&show_user=&buying=&sharing=&download=&show_artwork=&show_playcount=&hide_related=\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>P.S. Hello. I\u2019ll make this brief and very subtle. It\u2019s quite intense but very exquisite, our rendezvous. We\u2019d usually laugh together and many times, we\u2019d laugh at ourselves. We\u2019d laugh at our insecurities and our peculiarities. I\u2019m not sure if this was supposed to happen, but it did, and you know what? I\u2019m ecstatic. As adventures, we\u2019ll face many obstacles, but together, with the help from God, we\u2019ll prevail.
