Feelin emotional. There’s so much telling us what life is all about — but we have to figure it out on our own. We’ll go through our entire lives chasing one thing because we think we’re supposed to want it, to get there and realize it was never us who wanted it.

All we have is a feeling to chase, that feeling is happiness, it’s what makes this life worth living, it’s what eases our being and puts us at peace, it’s what we love, what excites us, what truly fucking excites us.

The world will tell us what we’re here to do, but none of it matters if we don’t feel it on the inside. We can’t ever settle until we know deep within our being that we found it. What we love. Who we love. Why. And when we find it never let it go.

Chase it. Seek it. Create it. Be it.

Be the love that you are — the light of the sun, the energy of connection, the beating heart of a city and the peace of the sea. We are all of that, and we gotta realize it, and smile about it and let our soul shine. Fucking live it.

None of it matters until we’re happy in our own skin, so we may spread that joy like there’s no tomorrow.

This world is so beautiful man. People. People are beings of light. Let go of what we’re supposed to be — cool, pissed off, fake, better than worse than more successful less successful — we are what we are. We are what we are when we drop what we’re supposed to be. It’s love.

I haven’t cried like that in a minute, and damn it feels good. What is crying, the body showing weakness, showing pain, or showing that life is a fucking challenge, that there are going to be things that test us, and move us, and make us want to give up.

To let go, because holding on to life implies that we can’t let go, we don’t want to cry, because we can get through it.

But what if the only way to get through it is to let go, to hit the bottom and bounce back up and try again. And in letting go, restart. And every time you do you learn something new, about who you are and what you can get through by letting go.

Of the past, of the pain, of the hurt, and step from out of the cloud’s shadow.

You can start again, every day you can start again, and choose to step into the sun, and enjoy every second in the sunshine, crying tears of joy.

Not supposed to cry, perhaps cause I’m a guy, but I think the world is changing, and we will continue to connect through this pain. It hurts to see what’s on tv, on the news, these things that divide us. But there’s people out there, good people, people like you, like me, and we’re all afraid. It’s okay to be afraid.

But we can’t stop living.

The world is full of more love than fear, more light than darkness, more love in our hearts and joy in our souls than anything.

I saw a sticker in Montreal that said ça va bien aller, it’s going to be okay.

We choose to believe it in all that we do. It helps to cry along the way.
