Keeping It Real.

People are fond of reality. People like "keeping things real". And I, oftentimes, fail to understand what they mean and what they refer to as reality. I mean, they always make it sound like reality is so much harsher and harder than basically everything else and that it takes a lot of courage to accept reality and whatnot.

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

It makes me curious though, why can't reality be something really enjoyable? Why can't it be that something that makes us want to have more and more of it and why can't we be happy talking about it? (Not saying every one of us has this opinion about reality but I think I do cover the general population when I say this).

The truth is, I don't know if reality is indeed as hard as we make it sound. Reality doesn't always have to make us serious and wipe that beautiful smile off of our faces. Reality doesn't have to bring us down. Reality doesn't have to bring a slurry of negative thoughts into our heads and reality doesn't have to make us question all of our choices in our lives.
Reality really can be the beautiful sunrise and sunsets that we that we usually take for granted, reality can be that beautiful moment that we share with people we adore, reality can be that thought provoking and instrumental line that we read in a book or listened to in a song, or watched in a movie. Reality can be that moment that we rarely take to be grateful for this life that we have. Reality can really be anything we want it to be, not just those moments when we fall down. It covers the ups, the downs, the plains and everything else it can.

Lots of love, peace.
