controlling chaos? not a chance.....

you can sit and contemplate life and its many events. you can think over actions and regret conversations. we have control over what we do and how we do it, but there is little else we can hold onto. we can gather our thoughts and sort them out, organize the chaos that wraps itself in our mind when we least expect it. we come up empty-handed, though, and that much more insane than before we ever tried to examine ourselves. it seems as though life wants you to do as little as possible, in terms of control, to truly let yourself be free. you become released from the constraints and contrivance of life and finally can see what has always been there. life hands you lemons, life hands you love, and life hands you ludicrous situations. i think we are all too eager to grab those things, keep them close, so as to feel complete, regardless of how sour or heartbreaking or unreal the events pan out. sometimes life just has an odd way of working, but sometimes, life has a wonderful way of working out, and we find it does when we possess little control of our surroundings. let go, breathe, and make your fucking lemonade, because life is going to hand you things, and you can control what you do and how you do it, but just know it isn't your fault if the lemonade doesn't end up pulp-free.
