Live Selflessly

Look around

do you see that? That love radiating from you skin? Do you feel that? Your heart beating to keep you alive, to keep you breathing? This life is precious. There are miracles happening every day, from that caterpillar sprouting wings, to that tulip growing through six inches of dirt. You are magical. There is beauty coursing through your veins in the form of glitter and blood. That is whats wrong with society, with people. You don't believe in the magic you hold inside you do you? It exists more than you know. You can invent  fairy tales from your mind, you can walk on small bones that make up each of your feet and your toes. You balance without the need of a tail, and you laugh without the need of someone telling you that's what you should do. You can type with fingers and hold things thanks to your thumbs. You are magical. Most of all though, you forget how magical other people are. You forget that others can make you laugh until you cry, you forget the power of two thin arms wrapping around your neck, yet it feels more like the universe squeezing you in half. You forget that others possess that kind of power. You forget that there is beauty in being the fortunate one that gets that phone call when someone else is in need because they called you and no one else. You forget what caring about someone else means. There is power in selflessness. There is power in taking off your shoes for someone else to use that have never owned a pair. There is power in love notes to your secret lover that take two seconds to write but touches their soul like a flame. There is power in carrying an old ladies grocery's to her car because shes to fragile and thin to do it herself, and if it was the other way around she would do it for you. This power is lost sometimes in human selfishness. Its lost in the want for there to be something in it for you. It is lost in mind games and laziness. It is lost in evil holes that we humans invent with our own minds. The worst part is, you forget that the power is something you feel too. The power in all these selfless deeds not only effects someone you have touched but it effects your very own soul. It grabs you and engulfs you in tears, smiles or a warm fuzzy feeling. Many of us forget what that feels like. What this power feels like. We forget that we are all human, we are all the same species living on the same planet. Everyone needs love sometimes, even if its from a complete stranger. We all need that kind of power, yet we all forget it exists. We are to wrapped up in wars against each other, and hurtful text messages, in social media and videos of beating each other up. We humans are magical, from the bones we are made up of, to the ability to understand and make each other feel a certain way. It is sad that we are using this magic to tear down one another, to rip each other apart and say its not our fault. Remember there is magic in your soul that is waiting to do good. Hug someone, make someone laugh, help someone, live selflessly and you will understand that this way of life benefits you more than you could ever know. Stay humble, welcoming, happy, and spread kindness because we all know how much we all need it.
