Breathe Already

Hello world.
Guess what?

I'm tired of you.

For real, though.  You're irritating.  You're a downer.  You're negative SO much of the time, I just can't seem to show you that your entire life (literally) actually REVOLVES around the sun.  Yeah, the sun.  The brightest thing in this universe, you revolve around it.  Granted, one part of you remains in the dark, while another sees the light, but as a whole?
You are always in the light.

That's right I said it.  As a whole, the light is always shining on you.  The dual nature of your existence means you can't always see it, or feel it, but it's always there.  So just let it be, will you?  When you feel that sun, really feel it.  Soak it in for all it is worth.  Then when the darkness comes, remember what the light feels like.  Why?  Because life is cyclical, and you will be in the dark as often as you are in the light. 
That's why.

So world, listen here.  Stop criticizing.  Stop looking at all those other planets, and wishing you had what they have.  You don't need to be like them.
You know what you have that they don't?
Life.

You have life.
Existence.
Being.

So breathe it in.  Remember that existence, will you?  Remember that although you may not be the closest thing to the sun, you can still see it.  It's still there, shining on you.  Remember that your existence is yours to claim.  You are a part of this universe too. 

You just listen, world.  Calm down, already.  Those earthquakes you feel inside?  Those torrential downpours, and floods that threaten to drown you?  Even the desert winds, with their merciless heat. 
It's all a part of you.
It gives you life.

So breathe it in world.  Look to the stars when the light of the sun sets on you.
Remember the beauty of your existence.
Not the criticism.
Not the judgement.
Don't you let those other planets tell you how to be, or why.
They didn't make you.

You just be.
And I mean, really.
Just be.
