Tonight is one of those nights. I'm sitting in my little apartment and realizing for the first time how "me" it is. When I started this blog I rambled about packing for college and the fear and excitement of what was to come. I don't think I ever expected it turn out this way. I don't think I ever expected this little apartment to become my home. I think that's why it surprised me tonight to look up from my journal and see little pieces of me hanging on the wall. I'm glad life is life that. It tends to slap you in the face about a year or so later on and make you realize how far you have come and remind you of you who you have become.
My favorite Dr. Seuss quote says, “How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”
It makes me think about things. It makes me remember that feeling I felt as I was packing for college. It reminds me moving away from the campus to my little apartment. It makes me think of my best friends getting married and having babies. It makes me think about the people I care about and makes me wonder how much love I will be able to hold inside of me in the next twenty years or so. It makes me appreciate today for what it is. It makes me love the moment I'm in.
Time goes by quickly and I'm assuming it won't ever stop. Don't wait till things are perfect to appreciate them. Don't wait till you have the perfect job to spend time with your family. Don't wait till you live in your perfect place to love who you are. Don't waste what you have before its gone. Take every moment and opportunity given to you. Before you know it you'll be asking, "How did it get so late so soon?"
