"I don't know how to live"
-Sharon Olds
To be honest, I don't know either. Like, I'm clueless right now. I'll tell you when I've figured it out. I'll tell you when I'm dead and gone and can look back at my life and tell you all my mistakes and shortcoming. Then I'll be telling you all my regrets and what ifs and thats no way to live.
So instead of living as a look back with a sense of nostalgia and "what if"
live in the now.
Take each moment in stride. Treasure the little things.
The times you smiled, the times you laughed, the times you held someone's hand and the times you wrote on paper with a good pen
Treasure the water ballon fights, the falling in publics.
Treasure even that time you laughed so hard milk came out your nose.
Sleep in, play hooky.
Cry every once in a while.
Learn from your mistakes, or make them all over again.
Take everything with a grain of salt and a sprinkle of sugar.
Learn to let go what needs to be let go
and hold on to everything you hold dear.
