Everything You Are

by Kerry Anne King

She’s got no huge objection to dying, she just doesn’t want to explode right here, in front of all of these people. If she could die quietly, just close her story as if it’s a book she started reading and decided she didn’t like, she would welcome that.

I hereby commit to falling in love with life in all of its manifestations of trouble and triumph, joy and grief, boredom and excitement. I will treat each day as an adventure, full of possibility, and I will seek to be present for every moment, whether pleasant or unpleasant.

I commit to becoming an ambassador for adventure, bringing new experiences into the lives of others while engaging in them myself.

If I should fail, I commit to picking myself up and trying again.
