Living In The Moment

Before you read this, just be warned. This is deep. Really deep. :) haha But it's my thoughts. That's what a blog is supposed to be, right?

Lately I've been thinking a lot about....choices people make....and why people do the things they do when they know the things they know. Have you ever thought about that? I mean, people know drugs are bad, and that they kill you, so why do people still do them? I'm not gonna go into complete detail, but you get the jist. I'm sure you can think of some more on your own. Anyways, unexpected things happen to people all the time. Whether its good or bad. Some things you have no control over, and you just gotta hope and pray that things will turn up, but other things happen because of decisions or choices we make. Sometimes things even happen to us because of choices other people make. What I'm trying to get at is, things are gonna happen to us, good and bad, no matter what, and we have no control over that. But we do have control over the choices we make and how we want to live our lives. When something happens, you can choose how you want to react to it and how you want to live your life afterwards. You can decide for yourself whether you want it to change your whole life, or just be something that passes through. But when something bad happens, and it is clearly you're fault, I don't wanna hear any complaints. I know I sound really harsh right now, but a lot of times, horrible things happen because of stupid choices people make, and its sad, it really is.... but if someone hadn't made that dumb decision, that horrible thing may not have happened.

Alright, so do me a favor. Think about your life. Think about the choices you're making. Are they the things you REALLY want to be doing? Are they the things that are truly going to make you happy in the end? Sometimes it's ok to live in the moment, but sometimes you gotta think twice and make sure that living in that moment isn't going to affect the rest of your life. Do you really want to have fun for an hour and compromise so much? And possibly live with regrets the rest of your life? I don't know, it's your choice, but I personally would think twice about it.

Ok, so ya, I'm kind of a hypocrite. I'm not perfect. No one is. I've made bad decisions. But I've learned from them. And I'm not saying I'll never make a bad decision ever again, but sometimes it just takes people longer to realize things than it does for other people. You have to realize it for yourself. I just hope that you realize it before its too late. I know that there are people in and out of this world who wish they could have gone back and changed ONE little decision. Don't be one of those people. So go for it, live in the moment, but before you do, make sure it's not going to ruin every moment after.
