Did you ever stop all thoughts for a second and think “Oh my god, life is so short?” As I approach the mid-twenties age I seem to catch myself in that repetitive cycle more and more. When you’re running around on the playground, your only worry is not to fall and scratch your knees. All you wanted to do was grow up and enter adulthood for the freedom you so longed for. It’s funny how things don’t always turn out the way we think at all. Getting a job, paying bills, not relying on anyone but ourselves are all part of the growing up experience, but we didn’t think about that part when we were playing dress up in kindergarten. It becomes a quite bothersome thought to think when you realize you have already reached a certain age, and maybe your bucket list is still a little too long. It is at this point that we need to take a step back, ask ourselves what it is we want out of life. To be happy, to be successful, whatever the goal, capture it and don’t waste anymore time. It seems ironically, like forever ago that I was learning how to read and write. In comparison to the future, it seems as though that feeling has decreased and the time is only speeding up. Savor the moments and the here and now, because they will be over before we know it. Don’t waste time wondering how long you have to enjoy the moments you’re in, just live them.
