There is so much I want to do in life. But then again, doesn't everybody feel this way? Yet I guess you would hope that people would want to get the most out of their life. I look at my aunt and uncle, for example. They had only one child, a girl who is my age and out of the house. For as long as I remember, they never took any vacations except to down the shore. They never went in our big family vacations down the shore, not they went alone. They never ventured outside of the tri-state area, as my uncle is afraid of driving highways. How does one truly live this way? Never experiencing all that is out there. Going across country or traveling overseas? Don't they wonder the many cultures around them? Do they regret not being able to do it? Are they truly satisfied with the day in and day out, same predictable routine that has been going on for decades? I guess we ultimately choose our own destiny.
I realize that this year was going to be different. My past few years have been nothing short of predictable themselves. For once, I want to live out my dreams, make them a reality. I deem this year as the "Year of Fun." And so far, I think I have accomplished a lot. But I want it to go further than year, I want to constantly be looking for adventures and embracing every experience, good or bad, into my life. Life is truly too short and I don't want to waste with a predictable routine, sure it's safe but it's not living. I'm a big dreamer and for the longest time, I just dreamt. Never fully taking the step to doing something about these dreams. But with the way things have been going for me, I am truly happy with myself, first and happy with my situation. Of course things could come in my direction and change everything in an instant, but I think I'm more prepare and ready to deal than allowing it to stop everything I'm doing. No more will I allow anything to stop me from truly living. Nothing. :)
