Every Now and Then

Every now and then we think about our life and where it's come to.

We think of the recent past and the overall history of our life.

What could we have changed, would we have changed, any of it?

Or are we content, realizing that what we have now is beyond what we could ever dreamed of.

The best things in life comes as surprises,

The good fall apart so better things can fall together,

Or do they?

Every now and then, we do something rash, something unexpected.

A new feeling, a learning experience

Sometimes, Unheard of or unrealistic.

We jump out of planes,

We hike the highest mountains.

We buy things beyond our budget,

We drink more than our liver can survive,

Yet we are still here.

The moment of unknowing.
Is it that adrenaline rush?

Where the heart has never beat so fast.

Or are we more mentally dangerous, we think about risking our feeling, our emotion.

We take the chance at something we never imagined we would obtain,

We fight for something we want, we chance everything for need.

Is it because it's rare to occur,

Or do we fight our gut, and believe for once, this will work.

And when we take this chance at explaining things we yet have no words for,

Our hearts are pumping faster than ever.

We might not take many chances at all in life, but then again.

All it takes is one.

Just one and our hearts beat faster than it ever has.

Goals and achievements aren’t about IF, they should be about WHEN.

Whether it's jumping out of planes or chasing the one we want, our heart is beating,

Louder. Faster. Harder. Stronger.

It beats as If we had two bodies, or doubled our size.

Risky, maybe. Crazy, definitely.

But sometimes it's the things we thought we would never do,

That change our lives, forever.

Every now and then things get crazy, hell breaks lose.

Every now and then we risk it all for a determination beyond reason.

Every now and then, we leave nothing left in curiosity.

And when we live through it, whether we make it or lose it, face it or love it, it is enshrined forever.

It is tattooed in our memories, our hearts, our lives.

What we did or wanted to do.

What we have or could've had.

What we lived with knowing,

Or knowing we lived without.
