Doesn't it all seem so scary? To know that in a blink of an eye we could miss so many things. Life has been passing us by and if we do not grab onto the moments we could miss them. Once we finish school, move onto careers, make careers changes, relationships and then friendships... how much of it were you actually able to enjoy? Genuinely enjoy?
We're always focusing on the next big plan, the next task at hand to accomplish. It is almost like we are scheduled to just adhere to our lives without being able to squeeze in our own relaxation time, our own personal time to really grasp what we truly want to. What we want to do to make ourselves happy.
This is why while I'm young, I'm going to abuse the time I've got. I'm going to do what I want to do and savor every moment of it. I'm going to take advantage of my days off and embark on new adventures. There may be times when it seems almost better to just sulk around and relax on the time you get to yourself, but it's much more worthwhile to look back on life and see the memories you've created throughout time.
There are people who enjoy being homebodies and would rather stay around than adventuring out. Obviously, that is okay too, I'm not knocking it. 'Cause like I said, there are days that it is definitely way better to do that than anything. It's just important to take life and appreciate every opportunity there is for new escapades.
When all is said and done, was the time you spent on yourself worth it? Don't let the answer to this question make you regret the time that's passed. Instead, act now and breathe in the new world around you.
When life comes knocking at your door, don't blink.
