So True

I just love this . It seems to encompass the truth on our common philosophy of living that we forget how unique it really is.

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."

Summerrrr!

First and foremost, Happy Father's Day Dad! :)

NOW, ah sorry I haven't wrote in a while! School's FINALLY out and summer's in. No more worrying about projects, quizzes, finals, or papers. Now it's time to hit the beach, go for a swim, sit outside and watch your ice cream melt in the hot sun, and just relaxxxx. What is the start of summer? It's not just a day us students look forward to pretty much all year. This is a big deal. It's when school's out for about 3 months and we're free. Free from the drama and free from the stress that comes along with schoolwork. For me, this grand event started at precisely 8:48 Friday morning last week. Most people describe their summer as one of their favorite vacation spots. But for me it's more of all the simple pleasures. Aka riding with the windows all the way down, eating popsicles on the deck, walking around barefoot all day, going to the pool, buying an insane amount of flip flops, and those nights we stay up all night with our friends doing absolutely nothing. Who can complain, right? Well, I'm gonna have to cut this one short cause the flip flops are waiting, but can't wait to find out what these next 3 months have in store!

Time for math

Minus the drama. Divide the hope. Add the realities. Multiply the love. What does this equal? A human. We all have one innate desire from birth. That desire is to be close to somebody and be accepted. As we grow, we put up our guard to protect us from getting hurt while we choose those select few who we trust with our lives. We act like we don't care about certain people and decide to keep our distance, but is that really true? Not at all. Putting on that kind of show just for the benefit of the doubt is just messed up. Those select few who we have stood by are the ones we can easily forgive an infinite number of times no matter how badly they have messed up. These people will never fail to surprise us with their actions, yet we can overlook it after some time.

I don't know if it's just being naive, or the fear of losing people if confronted of their hurtful actions. But I'm learning that those who are there for always, loving you no matter what, are the ones that deserve to be here. The ones who show they love you 24/7 in good times and bad, and especially when you don't even need it. Such strong bonds are created with sufficient time and trust. Sometimes we fight with these people, but it does not change how we feel about them. Yes, fighting makes our hearts grow distant from one another but this strong feeling of closeness is also what brings them back together.

While we constantly feel like we need space, sometimes all we need is the exact opposite.

Restart

You know what really amazes me? How every morning we open our eyes to a day we know nothing of. We have absolutely no idea what's in store for us, yet we take it for granted. Every night we go to sleep knowing that tomorrow we will wake up and it will be a new day. Each day is so different from the next, a complete restart. I can't get over it, it blows my mind how many chances we are given in one lifetime. Yeah we mess up but so what? Tomorrow is a new day, a day to put it all in the past and the time to move on. As they say, life's too short to be sad. Carpe Diem. Live Your Life. Live everyday like it's your last. Well, they've definitely got a point. So make the most of each minute you have and embrace it with your all. It's human nature to be drawn to the unknown of tomorrow, kind of like solving a mystery I guess. This concept of being able to start over 365 times every year will never stop engrossing me, so bottom line: Be ready for a new beginning in 24 hours. You're only given this day once.
