Veronica Speaks

Encouraging optimistic…pessimsism…is that even a thing? I want to talk about it.

Further research needs to be completed in this topic space and until then, I am speaking from my heart because this is the space I exist in.

I live in a space of knowing that a physical death is inevitable. These human bodies have an expiration date influenced by our health lifestyle. Personally, I don’t know anyone who avoids dying. Tuck Everlasting or Fountain of Youth, anyone?

On the other hand, the Spirit inside of our body never dies. That Spirit is life – it goes on with and without us.

Although our Spirit never dies, the bodies it is encased in has to recycle back into the ground. Ya know, because our bodies decompose after a million years and becomes the oil we use today. Mother Nature is wicked in that way.

Cemeteries are everywhere you travel. We are walking on the land of the dead who once walked.

I once wrote these thoughts off as morbid thoughts. Thoughts that no one should hear, but it is my truth.

Because I know that we all die, I cherish the time I do have.

I am grateful everyday that I wake up because I get to experience life all over again.

It is a blessing to get up, wake up and feel the emotions we often run away from feeling.

I am grateful I can feel pain. I am grateful I can feel relief. I am grateful I can feel happy. I am grateful I can feel sad. I am grateful I can feel love. I am grateful I can feel hate.

I am grateful that I can identify the emotions that I experience on a daily basis.
