An oxymoron
Probably the biggest contradiction yet

How can one's life be so beautiful yet tiring?
A concept we are all well aware of,
life is full of ups and downs.

But why do we still forget to count our blessings?
Complaining becomes habitual because
it's always easier to remember the bad.

So why don't we channel that energy into the good?
Go through the motions of your downfalls,
take all the time you need to process.

Eventually, when you're ready - take a step back.
Focus on the present, dare to dream your future.
Be thankful, always - that we are living.

Only those alive, have the privilege of having emotions.
And these feelings, those experiences - which belong to you only,
are what we call life.

I wonder what it must feel like to be one of the greats
to be fully loved and validated
I doubt if anyone really knows
