Love the life you live, they say,
But some days, that feels far away.
You show up tired, soul worn thin,
Wading through the world your in.
But here’s the thing they don’t explain,
Joy can rise through grief and strain.
A good life isnt’ all bright skies,
It’s the way you learn to realign.
It’s coffee at dawn, and showing up late.
It’s falling apart, then trusting in fate.
It’s support from new friends when your starting again,
Not always blood, but steady and true.
Maybe not family, but choosen by you.
It’s work that moves you, not just pays,
It’s purpose woven throughout your days,
It’s laugher loud and quiet rest,
it’s choosing what you know is best.
It’s messy truth, grace and grit,
It’s honoring every little bit.
We measure too much in things that fade,
Followers, dollars, and titles we’ve made.
But what about trust, What about time?
What about the moments that actually shine?
The kind that root you, not just rush.
That leave you whole, not chasing “enough”
That remind you this life isnt’ just to survive,
It’s here to be felt, its here to thrive.
So build you life with soul and care,
With joy that lingers in the air,
With love that’s deep, and work that true,
and days that fee like home to you.
And when you pause, in the stiliness or storm,
Remember, growth has many forms.
You’r not behind, your not late,
Your right on time to shift your fate.
So here’s you cue, your gentle start,
Trust the steps that lead with heart.
Design a life that light the way,
And love the one you live each day.
Thank you for reading until the end, Ayerim
