Lost in Route: Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Ever felt the reflection looking back at you, seeing right through you. Past all those superficial adornaments that we all take on in efforts to make ourselves for presentable. Standing almost bare, exposed for who you are flaws and all. That very reflection can see past, the facade that others can not distinguish or make sense of. We all play our part in this life's rendition of '"This is my life'". Some of us better at our own roles than most. Maybe taking on the role and making it our own. Even manipulating to suit our own needs, but there are somethings you can hide no matter how hard you try to sugarcoat things. Some of us even attempt to fool ourselves into thinking this is our reality, but when in fact is just your subjective take on reality.

There are some of us who blend in much easier and find ourselves at ease in just about any situation. We tend to have many who flock to be close. Because lets face it, the moth always flocks to the light in the dim of the moonlight and by candlelight they come in droves to hover over the warmth that radiates from the within for the warmth it signifies so much more than meets the eye. I think that each and every one of us craves to find the warmth, that radiates and allows us to lose ourselves even just for a moment in time. As I have said before, not all good things were meant to last. Some were meant to be relished just for as long as the flame burns from within fueling the fire which allows the embers to ignite. This most amazing chemical reaction that ensues when two souls cross paths is such a  beautiful and simple chain reaction.  Sometimes we are lucky and the flames burn for eternity and beyond. 

Lost's Reflection: The search for life's inspiration is a journey that we all must take. Some of us take the more scenic route, that takes you sometimes a lifetime to reach your destination having taken maybe detours with a  few more speed bumps along the way and other the more direct route. It is those challenges that add character and toughen the exterior. They are not a reflection on us as an individual as much as it is a reflection of our choices. No one is perfect and there are no two stories that are identical. Some story lines more colorful then the next. And others more unsavory and seedy, but hey they are as unique as each and everyone of us. Opportunities for inspiration are all around us, don't close the door or burn bridges because you never know whats around the corner. And who doesn't love surprises? So, buckle up, sit back, and enjoy the ride.....ready? Bring it on:-)
