Beyond the Checklist

We plan, we stress, 

We try to get it right. 

But life doesn’t care about perfect timing. 

It shows up uninvited, 

Flips the script,

Teaches lessons we never signed up for. 

Still, we act like worrying will fix it. 

It won’t. 

It's not as if we shall outlive our time. 

So why not laugh more? 

Be silly. 

Say yes to joy when it shows up. 

As life isn’t a checklist,

 It’s something you’re meant to feel.
