human.

We try and make it simple. We think of possible outcomes, shortcomings, perceived realities. We do this because we are human. We do this because, in certain moments, we believe that it is our job to figure it out. We lie to others because we are attuned to make-believe, dressed in costume and painted in beauties of our own design.

We try and complicate things. We ask why and when and how without pressing pause. We laugh because we’re nervous. We laugh in times that, to others, may seem inappropriate. It’s not for lack of knowing. It’s because we know that a smile can change the meter of conversation. Make the rhythm of the moment more bearable. It’s because we know that everyone needs relief. It’s because we may not have an alternative for that particular breath. Sometimes it’s hard to breathe. Sometimes we forget where we are or what we are or if our intentions are to give or to get.

We are grand performers. We all have something we are afraid to share. We complicate things. We try to make it simple. We are not simple. We are human. At least for now <3
