I think I am high


on life, that is!

this is going to sound silly, but...

Have you ever just felt so good

Not because you finished all your homework. Or because you just accomplished something meaningful. Or because you just won the lottery.  Or because you found the love of your life. [all things which i, sadly, have not yet achieved, but that is besides the point.]

But because you just experienced "one of those moments in life" where you realized that you would not want to be anybody else or be at some other place or do anything else. Instead, you just want time to slow down a little bit just so you can spend a little more time [laughing] with the people around you.

Don't you wish you could bottle up these moments to keep them forever (so they'll remind you of the goodness in the world when times are shitty)? It'd be like, happiness in a jar. That would sell, no?

Maybe the sunshine is at fault for my idealistic thoughts today... Man, it is sad what makes me happy sometimes. Hah.

Well, this all leads me to an Albert Einstein quote [which Jon reminded me of]: 

"There are only two ways to live your life. 

One is as though nothing is a miracle. 

The other is as though everything is a miracle."

I guess I'm just trying to say that I’m tired of being nostalgic. I’m tired of studying. I’m tired of worrying. I’m tired of wishing. I'm tired of regrets. I’m tired of dreaming. I’m tired of waiting.  I'm tired of missing out.

Let the wind run its fingers through our hair already.

I mean, life is for living, right?
