A friend of mine was in town this weekend from Portland, and I was able to get the night off and hang out with her. In hanging out with her I got to see some other old friends from High School too. We had a blast telling stories and catching up. Then in listening to some of their stories I started to get jealous. Here we all are nearly 30, and I thought I was doing good, I'm building a life for myself... I just bought a house, I have a great job, that I love and have been doing for the past 7 years. I'm thinking about going back to school and getting my nursing degree... then in dawned on me... I've been BUILDING a life... they've been LIVING a life!
They've all traveled all over the world, and been to all kinds of concerts and gotten to see some of the best bands in the world at some of the best places... and what have I been doing... WORKING?!?!?! Granted most of them barely have a dime to their name... but how incredible is that... one friend lived in Guatemala for a year! He was completely immersed in their culture for an entire year! That's incredible! I've done some traveling but there are still so many places I want to see and things I want to do! They've lived their life the way I've always wanted... one day at a time... embrace each day as though it's your last! Who cares about tomorrow, I'll worry about it if I wake up then...
Makes you think...
