A World of Fiction

I was talking to a friend at work the other day when our conversation drifted to the topic of who we are. He said a phrase that I cannot seem to get out of my head, "I have no desire to live in a world of fiction." 

A World of Fiction. Having first heard the phrase, I knew that I had lived here there for some time. I surrounded myself with what I thought would make me happy, make me grow, make me proud of the person I was becoming; but some of it was a facade. More than I cared to realize. I grew comfortable in this land of fiction. I made a home, and even decorated my walls. 

Today, I am taking down my picture frames. I am packing up my belongings and I am leaving this World of Fiction behind me. I am leaving for a World of Truth. Somewhere where honesty will seep out of my pores and engulf me. Somewhere I will choose to only be true to myself and what is best for me. Somewhere that I know I need to be. Somewhere that I will be surrounded by raw, pure, exposed veracity. I will build a new home, and fill it with new decorations. 

Because I no longer have the desire to live in a World of Fiction. 

I Want to Fall in Love

Love is something, isn't it? Something that can be described, in three words, or in none at all. Something that either makes too much sense, or doesn't make any sense in the slightest. Something that is entirely exciting, yet terrifying all wrapped up in one pretty package, with a large bow on top. I can't say that I know all that much about love. But from what I do know of it, I don't want to fall in love just once, twice, three times even. 

(Quote originally by Anthony Capella, used in The Age of Adaline)

I want to fall in love continuously, constantly, courageously. Over and over again. 

I want to fall in love with countless people. Places. Books. Movies. Songs. Memories. My life. Myself. 

Falling in love is such a beautiful journey, and I don't ever want to stop experiencing it. I want to embrace every version of it, in all of its entirety. I want to look back throughout my life and reminisce on each time I fell in love, and how beautiful it was each time. Whether it be the first time I experienced Zion and fell in love with it's one-of-a-kind beauty, or the first time I heard the song Pyro by Kings of Leon and felt it all the way down to my bones. 

Love is exceptional, and should be experienced for all that it is, and all that it can be. 

Happy Saturday! <3
