Yard Work

I often get reflective when thinking about perspective... 

They say the grass is always greener on the other side.

What the clichés don't say, though,

is that the grass on your side wouldn't be so damn brown

if you just took the time to water it.

The best way to get what you want 

is to put in the effort

& to care about what you already have.

I often get reflective when thinking about perspective...

Reminiscing over resurfacing memories,

feelings or emotions I neglected 

& pushed aside at the time when they occurred...

I've learned that materialistic tendencies 

& extreme objectivity,

can skew our view of reality, 

can blind us to what really matters.

Yes, I often get too reflective when I overthink perspective...

Like an over corrective detective,

desperately searching for the most effective,

least subjective method.

But who am I kidding?

It's not complicated.

It isn't a mystery.

Sometimes it's easiest

to just love,

to just live.

Simplicity really is the key

when putting it all into perspective.
