I want to wake up one day and be able to say I have lived. I have this friend who says he has lived. The first time he said it, I asked him what that meant, and he explained that everything he wanted to do he had done. Every wild adventure he could go on, he has. Every risk that was possible for him to take, he has taken and continues to take every single day. That was over a year ago, and I remember thinking, Well, I can’t say that. Have I done the things I desire to do? Well, some of them I have, and most of them I haven’t. There is this dream I have always had, and looking at my life right this minute, I am currently living it. The peace that comes with that part of my life, words cannot explain. Is it enough? Well, I am content, but I am striving for more. The universe seems to be aligning right now because everywhere I go, I am getting energy that matches my own.
I want to look back one day and say that I did everything I ever wanted to do. I want to say the things that I need to because each one of the unsaid things breeds a heavy heart. I want to teach people the things that I know. I want to use my skills for the good of humanity. I want to impact lives in ways that I wish I would have seen. So I have started to live intentionally. I have stopped holding back my thoughts, my opinions, and even my desires. It has taken me a while, but I have gotten to this point, and looking back, the journey was worth it. So I wake up each day and face the world,dare my fears, and walk each step confident that I can do anything I put my mind to. So I live because life is for the living.
