for so long now ive wanted something life changing to happen to me, ive wanted that one event to happen that causes a tidal wave of others to happen, like in a book it always starts right before this huge thing happens and u follow the characters until the end. i used to think thats wut i needed and that it would eventually happen to me and thats wut im waiting for thats wut im living for something dramatic, earth shaking.
well that way of thinking has changed now. talking to my mom last night she said that when u wake up in the morning everything u need is already there and all we need to do is be aware of it and appreciate it. everywhere there are miracles of life. i know it sounds sappy but i really think ive had the wrong idea about wut ive wanted out of life for so long. i now want to live my life for the smaller more insignificant things i see everyday. its so good to feel this way to see things like this. i know ive heard the saying "stop and smell the roses" or other adaptations, but theyve never impacted my thoughts until now. when i heard wut my mom said and the context she said it, it just clicked. i wish i had her exact words but oh well. i guess wut im trying to say is that instead of waiting for tomorrow im going to enjoy now.
