And Everyday is a Start of Something Beautiful

“Next time... we will laugh more, we'll love more; we just won't be so afraid”

There is one problem with that however is that life doesn’t throw us “next times”. You only get one time. There is no do-over or backspace button in life. Everyone gets one chance and your free will determines what you will do with it.

“I really wanted to meet you. And I shoulda ate that. I shoulda ate all that stuff. Especially that. Shoulda put my foot in that.”

I just finished watching the movie The Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah. Talk about a motivational flick. Most days I look at life like this: “We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.” But where is the magic in that?

“Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends.”

I’m not a big fan on the whole “God” topic, but I do agree with this quote. What if our plans for ourselves are completely minuscule to the actual things we are going to accomplish. Just doing what we can, is never really putting us to strive to our full potential. I want to be able to look at my life 4 years from now and be proud of the person I have become.

I am halfway through my freshman year in college and I am not sure if I am comfortable with the way I have grown. I have already done the whole “let’s be grown up and act like adults” so I guess I am stuck on where to grow now. And clearly I can’t grow any taller – I’m already 6 foot! There is a good chance that what it all comes down to is: it truly is difficult finding yourself.

Today: I was in the cafeteria eating my dinner with my friends and as we were leaving the music TV station was playing “Breakeven” by The Script. Nicole turned me onto The Script when I read the name in her profile and thought to myself “hmmm I haven’t heard of them, gotta check em out now”. Well back to the story. As we were leaving and the song was playing, this guy next to me started dancing and singing to his friend the song. Laughing, and being nosey at the same time, I said, “It’s a good song right!?” He looked at me, smiled and told me how he has tickets to see them in a couple of weeks. It was a quick conversation, but it was something beautiful. I never met the guy before but in those few seconds it didn’t matter if we knew each other for a lifetime or for a moment it was purely all about the love of music.
