It’s About Life
There are so many things I want to do in life but don’t have time or money to do it. It seems like the older you get, the faster the days go by and then you suddenly realize an entire year went by and you haven’t done anything that you wanted to do. I wonder how many other people feel that way. Maybe some people do everything they do want to, one thing I know for sure is that I don’t procrastinate and I’m constantly busy.
I’m also constantly trying to figure out how I can get less busy and still make enough money to support myself along with the cool things that I hope to do. There are so many things that interest me, so many things that I wish I could be an expert at, so many languages that I would like to learn, that I don’t even know where to start. The average life expectancy of a human today is 78.7 years, although much higher than ever in history, it’ still not a lot of time to do things.
Then there are all the societal pressures of having to have something done by a certain age. I know so many young women in there early twenties who are already panicking at the thought of being single, they spend countless hours thinking of their fairy tale weddings instead of just enjoying their youth and this very moment. And how about women in their 30′s obsessing about having babies before it’s too late (that i can understand) but what if you are not ready for that? And it’s not only women, lol, how about men and their mid life crisis’…timing and age in life can sometimes dictate your fate. We have to admit that some of our decisions are not solely based on wether or not it’s what we want at that particular moment, but more of the fact that you may run out of time to do them.
Don’t get me wrong here, it’s not like I would trade this life for one of immortality (sorry Edward) that would get boring! But the older I get, the more I want to achieve and the more I worry about not being able to do it all. I guess that saying “the youth is wasted on the young” couldn’t ring any truer in my ears. I am sometimes tempted to take out a payday loan and head off on an adventure on a whim, but my better judgment gets the best of me.
I guess what I’m trying to say, is live your life to fullest with absolutely no regrets. Live with an attitude of gratitude and always say what you need to say (thanks John Mayer). Share love and laughter with the people who are closest to you, never go to bed mad, and be kind and open to new people in your life as well. Life is short, you only have one, so please, please make the best of it and take time to smell the roses too.
