love

focus on the light, not the dark.
focus on the possibilities, not the impossibilities.
focus on the what-could-be's, not the what-went-wrong's.
focus on the mosaic, not the tiles.
focus on the expansion, not the compression.
focus on the joy, not the hurt.
focus on the infinite, not the finite.

it is not that the other side should not exist. nothing can ever be whole, ever be grand, ever be more, without its flip side. one can only comprehend desire, beauty and brightness through the existence of its other side.

so understand it.
then let it go.
because one can choose which part to focus on.
the choice will always exist.
and life is too short, too rich, too full
to spend looking forever into a black hole.
