reflect. Life is just to damn short.....really. I'm 23 and I feel like it all went by in a blink of an eye already. And despite all the crap that life is leaving on my doorstep, I am soooo happy. Decorating the tree tonight with the boy was one of the single best experiences of my life. I loved seeing his eyes light up brighter than the Christmas tree! Everything is so new to him, and there's no better way to see the world! There is no bitterness or pre-judgements in his heart, he just goes with the flow and is constantly amazed at what he learns and sees.
I was just thinking, what if we all lived like this?? What if everyday we looked at our significant other as if we just met them? What if everyday we took time to look up at the trees and the sky and just admire it's beauty? What if we got labs done and didn't worry about the results, but instead, we were glad to be comforted by the sweet embrace of those we loved? What if we took time to smile at everyone who caught our eye? We were all like this at some point. What a shame that we all quickly forget the current beauty in search of something even more beautiful. What are we all working towards anyway? To acquire more and more and then die? I see no purpose in this. I, instead, would love savor the sweet beauty of that which is now. How much better would all of our lives be if we decided to savor that which is now?
