Everything I Want

Imagine searching for the perfection you have lived your whole life believing in and discovering that you already have it -- it is just not what you expected.

No one could have told me how fulfilling life could be living this way. My life, a life custom designed for me. I don’t know if it will last forever, most likely it will not. I don’t even know how I fell into this place, but I do know that I am much more than content here.

There is nothing about this life that I was not groomed to have since the day I was born. Perhaps everyone finds a place in the world that is exquisitely designed to fill in all the nooks and crannies they desire and need.

In any case, it has happened to me. Not by riding off into the sunset with Prince Charming and not by retiring on a tropical island with heart wrenching sunrises and heart throbbing oceans pounding on the beach outside my door. Not by following the rules, nor by breaking them either really.

I have reached the mountain top. Living and loving and working, in my own version of once upon a time. I find myself surrounded by everything I want or need. I am in love. Immersed in it, awed by it, fulfilled by it. Who could ask for anything more?

I’ve heard it said in an infinite number of ways, and it always sounds way too simple, but it is true, “Do what you love and all the rest will follow.” I just never believed it could be quite this simple.
