Someone once told me

Someone once told me to always
live for the little things
in life.

live for 5am sunrises and 5pm sunsets
where you'll see colours in the sky that
don't usually belong.


live for the road trips and bike rides
with music in your ears and the wind in your hair.

live for days when you're surrounded 
by your favourite people who make you realize
that the world is not a
cold, harsh place.

live for little things because
they will make you realize that
this is what life is about,
this is what it means to be alive.
