Life is amazingly magical and magically amazing

I don't know where to start.
I sleep less and less these days, and I think more and more. It's not that I think that much in the way I used to (overthinking, trying to understand everything), it's like, I feel I understand more and more. I stopped trying to understand and thus I understand, twisted right? 

I accept life as it comes, take everything as it is, don't fight the present and go smoothly with the flow. Bentinho Massaro's outlook on life has helped me tremendously with this.

Since I've been living this way, alsmost everything I've experienced (seen, heard, felt, been through..) has taught me something, big or small. 
Every time I watch a movie, read a book, listen to someone, it goes way beyond the simple words. It reaches out to me. 
Everything feels personal. I can relate to everything. I am either a cause or a consequence of everything that happens to me. 
And yet nothing matters, or more accurately everything matters. There are no important things, other than the ones I give importance too. No one can force me to be a certain way, I always choose my reality. 

Life is getting simpler, lighter, happier every day. 
Science, philosophy, art, everything brings me back to me, my reality. It's the only one I'll ever experience so all I can do is try to explore it as much as I can. 

I've always tried to understand people and make them happy. And sometimes I did, but I rarely knew it, so I felt frustrated. 
Now I understand that the moments where I had a most positive impact was when I stopped trying to please people and was just being me. 

All I can do is be me, so the only "have to" that I go by now is "I have to be myself". Not even my best self, there's no such thing. In everything I do I could find someone who supports me and someone who rejects me. And it doesn't matter. 
All I want to do is be kind and fair, but who's gonna judge? So I'll just be kind and fair according to me, because it's the best I can do in my subjective reality. 
I don't want to hide behind fear or good will. I want to live by joy and love. "Why are you doing this or that?" "Because I love doing it". Not because I think it's the right thing to do, not because I think people are gonna love it, but because I love it. There's too much to do and not enough time to bother with things I'm not passionate about. 

I woke up at 4 this morning and the wintery night didn't encourage me to get out of bed so I put on a movie. Groundhog Day. I understood so much, about myself, life, the way I experience it. Live life, learn life, love life. Repeat.
And it's the same everytime now. There are no good movies or bad movies anymore, only movies and the way I see them, the lessons I take from them. 
There are no good or bad, incredible or tragic events, there are only events. There are no truths or lies, there are only realities. Plural. 
There is no such thing as objectivity. There are no such things as wisdom or crazyness. There are only infinite ways to experience life. And mine is the only one I got, the only one there is, as far as I'm concerned. 
Everything feels surreal, everything could be made up, but everything seems real at the same time. So I get to choose what's real for me, and I choose love, joy, faith, trust. I choose to look only at things that makes my heart expand. I accept the rest, I won't look the other way when presented with something I "don't like" but I won't go and look for it either. If something unwanted happens I won't deny it's happening I'll just accept it. I'll try to find the silverlining, the rainbow in the rain, the opportunity in chaos. There is always a bigger picture, a bigger scale. Or a smaller one. Everything is important, yet nothing is. I get to decide. In every moment.
Life is a joyful game. Dare play!
