Our reality is always
changing.
Turning, wobbling.
Falling apart,
and back together again.
I expect nothing from life.
The problem with
beliefs.
The problem with
expectations.
They lead to disappointment.
To live without ideas
of how life comes and goes,
is to be wise.
Ride with life.
All its steep hills
and double loops.
Embrace whatever happens.
Bury it in your arms
and realize that this...
this is the part of
life that terrifies people.
Because beliefs...they're ignorant.
Expectations...they're irrelevant.
Let go of all the weights holding
you. Free yourself to a life of
traveling. Experience your emotions,
your pain, your happiness.
Let yourself be taken into the
chaotic, peaceful, violent, loving, lying, helping, wonderfully ironic,
state we call being alive.
I am Lauren Pearson,
and I am not a believer.
I have opened my eyes,
and I am enlightened.

Thought it would an interesting take on the popular 'I Believe' trend.
I'll probably write an actual one soon. Enjoy my lovelies.
