"Be soft. Try not to let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe that it is a beautiful place."

Mind like water by: Jillian Martin

One day when I’m old I will loose my mind.

I know I will because one time when I was swimming I lost it and saw how easy and peacefully it was to let it slip.

It’s a sad thing loosing ones mind. Not nessasarly for the one who seems to have misplaced it, but for the others who continue to search for it for them.

I hope that when my mind is gone one day, everyone lets it be. I hope they look at me and think of water. How peaceful it is to be submerged in such a blissful state. How every tiny noise leaves such an impact as it echoes through the ripples.

After years of drowning out all the noise, I hope they know that I’m happy with the quiet. And that each time my mind slips its a pleasure rather than a burden.

I will encourage them when they are sad or can no longer be around me to take a quick swim and hopefully they will feel okay.
