Today

I stumbled upon this photo a little while back and I just saw it again on my facebook page. I was thinking how INCREDIBLY true this is and it's sad that more people don't live their lives this way. Life is so short, and chaotic, confusing, stressful but in so many ways life is absolutely beautiful. We were put here to learn, to grow, accept things that we cannot change, experience all that there is to experience, and do it with a light heart. Don't take things for granted and don't take things too seriously because it weighs you down. I'm only 24 years old, and people approach me for "wisdom." I don't necessarily believe I have more or better advice to offer than the next person, however, my views on certain things are a little different than the average person. I access EVERYTHING, deep, down to the core, and by doing that, I have created a mind-set of being extremely aware and observing. I notice so many things that normal people probably just don't because it isn't what their eyes can see. Sometimes it gets overwhelming to have the mind that I don't because it feels like people can't keep up. It feels like i'm in this whirlwind of emotion, and thought that I don't allow other people in, like they wouldn't understand or are naive to the ways I think.

Life is ours for the taking. We have this incredible opportunity to live an exciting, incredible, fulfilling life so my question is, why don't you?! Move to China.....go packpacking in Europe....travel the world and see the beauty laying right before you finger tips. Open your mind, and your eyes to all instead of viewing it from rose-colored glasses. LIVE....and LOVE...and enjoy before it's over. Pour your heart out and never be afraid to express how you feel. That way, if your life is over too soon, all people knew your true thoughts and feelings. I will never be afraid to hold in an expression again, because i'd be terrified knowing I'd never have the opportunity to tell someone that I loved them. Who cares if they think of you as a freak or a weirdo....you still put yourself out there, and ran with who you are instead of hiding behind thick walls of "I should haves or I wish I would haves"
