cause’ we try too hard.
(posted on Tuesday, October 5 by eii wyy nae.)
we try too hard. we do, we do. are we so unhappy, so bereft of joy that it must become a to~do on our daily list. ~ breakfast - check. shower - check. 10 minutes of joy - check. & then onto the rest of the day. we try too hard.
joy doesnt live in that place of trying too hard. im not a life coach, not a psychologist, there is no diploma attached to the wall proclaiming me as such. but this i know to bee true; joy lives in the not trying so hard, joy lives in the dessert you reach for first, it lives in the peaceful turning of the pages of a book you cherished from childhood, it lives in that place you go to when you read those pages. it lives in those unexpected places you go when you arent thinking too hard, places off the map, places w/ no names.
it doesnt live in the places you’ve purposely called “joy or happy or peaceful or dancing”, even if you’ve drawn the route w/ a sparkly red pen, even if you plan on dancing wildly once you get there, even if. if you need a map to get there, it aint joy.
