Hello

People come from everywhere and go everywhere. Me? I've been everywhere but gone no where. From where I was born to where I am now to where I'll be tomorrow. I've been though different states, lived from west coast to east coast, and yet never seen anything. But that's not enough for me. But I've seen my life, or at least I've come so far. Isn't that all we should need to be happy? 

If you answer yes, I suggest you stop reading about mine and get back to yours.

Reality hits us all sooner or later: one day in the future we're all going to look back on our lives and question if we did anything. When I look back, I want to look back and be able to say yes without hesitation. 

I think my reality hit me a week ago when a friend said to me "It doesn't matter what they all say to you now, do what your heart tells you, because in a few years nothing they said is going to matter, just what path you followed: theirs or yours."

And she's right. In a few years I won't remember who said what, or what gossip was going around, or if someone made a nasty comment. I might not remember how I even felt or what I thought, I'm just going to be left with the aftermath of it. So why create a mess of something I don't want for me to deal with in a few years? Why not just live my life the way I want it now instead of waiting to do so later? Must I wait to start creating memories I can look back on later in life and be proud of? 

The answer to that last one: No.
