Life by Ali

Sometimes I sit and wonder why the hell things happen the way they do. Life couldn’t possibly be simpler or more amazing. But when you’re in the thick of it all and things are really going bad, you can’t recuperate even a thousandth of the feeling you get when you first fall in love or when you realize that everything is happening exactly as you’d dreamt. It feels so complex. You drive yourself crazy trying to figure out why everything is so tangled up, why nothing works out for you. You even get used to living in washed out color, nearly convinced that feeling like that forever wouldn’t be *that* bad. It’s just life, right?

Then overnight something unexpected happens. You get a phone call or meet a stranger on an airplane, or maybe you feel that spark that, with no logical explanation whatsoever, makes your world turn upside down. In an instant it all comes together and life, once again, is ridiculously good. Of *course* things had to happen that way. It is all so simple, so amazing.

Guess which end I’m on right now…Unfortunately, life moves by at a pace much quicker than I can record in words, so you'll just have to stay curious about the details until I can get faster internet access and find more time to write. Suffice to say that life is very, very good these days.
