I had a thought last night that went like this: think less and do more. I've decided that no thought is real until you do something with it- say it out loud, write it down, use it for inspiration of some sort. Make sure no thought is left behind. So here I am, about to present my thoughts on paper. I love my life. I love my friends, I love summer, and I love myself enough that I can surely say that I am stable. I am at peace with the past and recognize that only the present is relevant because the future doesn't exist and never will exist because once it's here, it's not the future but the present. Also, the more you live in the present, the more you accomplish because you're not in a hurry to get on to something else. I should have known this my whole life, for a poster hangs on my wall that heralds the message:
"Enjoying. Paying attention. No hurry to get on to something more important. Whatever we are doing is important, experiencing each moment along the way. Time is a gift."
Who would have thought that the answer was right in front of me all along?
I just simply must express how wonderful my life is no matter where I look as long as beauty is in my eye and my mind is wide open. It's too the point where it's too much and I'm left with no choice but to take everything in pieces. I wish I'd seen the value of people so much more in high school; I wish I'd dared to laugh louder and harder and taken more risks, befriended people who I wanted to befriend without caring about what people thought. But God kept giving me more and more chances and just look at all He's given me! I am so grateful that it almost moves me to tears if I dare to think about how much my life has improved. I am at peace.
