Next jump, Happiness.

by jordan-fischer

It's amazing how much living you can miss out on with a simple polite refusal. In an instant you must jump off the carousel Landing among the infinite paths that intersect into oblivion That instant you jump can feel like a lifetime, but do not weigh it as such To dwell on a single leap is to miss the opportunity still ahead. Just jump with confidence Confidence instilled by knowing that wherever you may land, happiness or not, you are always one chance, one jump away from that happiness. The carousel is spinning to fast to jump back on. So never regret the jump you made, for it is gone. Spinning into oblivion with the jumps not taken. And there is no way of getting it back, But why would you want it. Next jump, Happiness.
