It hit me tonight. I want to be captivated. In every way -- by love in every form. Friends & Family. Why would we settle for anything less than captivating? Why -- because it's easy to settle for less. It's exhausting looking for perfection. Looking for the ultimate dream of what we believe is real.
But truthfully, reality is perception and perception is reality. Perfection is different to everyone. And typically not attainable Only due to our own definitions. I've been trying to let go of perfection. Or reaching the closest thing to it.
I'm letting it go. And I suggest if you haven't, you do too. Why not seek captivation? It's such an enthralling word and concept. That is attainable. And amazing, none the less. I want to be captivated. In every way possible. By so many things and so many people.
Captivation is all around us. The sunrise and sunset. The first star in the sky at night. That amazing song you can't help but move to. The moon at it's fullest. That amazing freckle on your significant other's cheek. The perfect amount of pressure you feel when you hug your best friend -- sometimes never wanting to let go. And sometimes, it's inexplicable. We can't define it. Our amazement. Our wonder. Our obsession. It's Jackie at her best -- all filled with wonder and delight. Amazement.
Instead of allowing mediocre to be the "new black", I say we make "captivation" the new black. The new norm. Who's with me?
