I'm Going to Give It Its Fullest Right Now

Underneath the energy and fullness of life, there is a chronic sense of dread that everything can stop at any moment. Rather than being terrifying, this awareness creates a stance in life where the present is savored and fully experienced. The belief in permanence and stability is a fiction, as life is in constant flux. Trust and vulnerability are still possible within this perspective. Trading passion for stability is trading one fiction for another. Our imagination shapes our experience, and living with the narrative that things always change allows for a sense of vitality and aliveness in relationships and in life.
