The days
I've been laying in bed since 7:41. I argued with my mother about a small dent someone made in my car door about a week ago. I never called the girl back because I didn't even think it was a big deal, and when I say small dent, I mean hardly noticeable. Today I was hanging out with someone who I've been interested in for some time. I find it odd how she can constantly find ways to put herself down. I want to explain to her none of it's true, but how to do it is beyond me. I enjoy spending my time with her. I look at my life as it is and wonder, "Are these 'the days' I'm going to be happily remembering when I'm older?"

What difference would it make if these were or were not 'those days'? 'The days' you look back on are not necessarily a continuous string of days or months or cheap, dollar store candles on a birthday cake. They are collections of happy, stupid, and uncalled for memories. The mission at this point should not be, "These are the days I have to remember." Rather, it should be to simply live life to the fullest. Grab every potential you are given. Explore the boundaries of living. Make the best of the hand dealt to you.
ReplyDeleteIf you life in such a way, you will find yourself looking back, glad you took the chances you did. The moments you spent simply living will be the ones you remember happily.
It's really just a wonder. No real effect on how I have lived, or will for that matter. Though I do find myself thinking from time to time, "If I do this, will I look back on it happily, or with remorse?" So I guess you can say that I reference my future happiness with any current decisions I may have to make. I really am a risk taker at heart, so my memories should be pretty interesting.
