Life.

I've realized recently what life really is.
It's not discovering who you are, or finding your purpose. It's not making your name known or climbing the ladder to success. Life, simply, is walking a road that is laid before you. Hoping that along the way, you affect someone in a way they couldn't have themselves. Hoping that you trip a few times, and realize your feet aren't as stable as you thought they were.
I've realized that you find what you're looking for when you stop looking. And that everything beautiful, isn't monumental. Sometimes the treasures aren't buried- but are minute details in an extravagant centerfold.
No one really has a "purpose" in themselves alone. We all are a part of something greater- but often we leave before the products are revealed.  We expect so much from ourselves, that we devalue our abilities.
I've realized that every disadvantage is an advantage, and everything we hate- we should love, because it's humbling. And being humble is a blessing.
I've realized that you never have it figured out- but that's okay. Sometimes being blind makes all the other senses greater. Making us feel deeper, think harder, and listen more than we speak.
To me, that is life itself.
