Control Freaking

I’m not sure if relinquishing control or if the idea of being in control is killing us.

I as much as I would love to call the culprit giving, I know it’s the idea of having control that’s killing me.

I am only now learning how to be; controlled was how I lived. Survived. Succeed. So I thought.

Then I lost control.

Even with a thousand hands I couldn’t manage the moving parts of what was coming. Neither can you.

Throw it in the air. Let it all fall. Where it lands is the new map.

Lose control win life.
