Last summer and the beginning of last school year I was really struggling socially. I mean I had a lot of friends and had a lot of fun, but I wanted to be done with being the single, crazy young adult. Ya I know at 20. Sad right? So I tried to change my attitude. I found a lot of quotes and inspirational sayings about living in the moment. I started t live by them. I mean, you aren't young for long. I have a lot more years left to live and I tried to remind myself of that. There is no use yearning for something you don't have yet, or wanting to be at a stage of life other than what you are in. You look back and have no regrets and look forward knowing those stages are going to be awesome once you get there.
"You pile up enough tomorrows and you'll find you've collected a lot of empty yesterdays. There is no tomorrow to remember if we don't do something today."
It looks like media, in a lot of ways, helped me to change my perspective. I read numerous talks and quotes like I mentioned before and also tried to remember the song "We're Young and Beautiful" by Carrie Underwood. It's about living it up and loving being crazy and free while you're young and beautiful. A new song just came out that reminded me of my struggles last year. Of course it is from One Direction. It's called "Live While We're Young." Definitely a great song and helping to remember to love being young.
I love inspirational quotes and talks as well. It's so nice that we have this so readily available to us that they do have the power to change our lives. Really cool they did that for you!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think about how sometimes people don't realize that they are just letting their lives past them by. Ever since I turned 25, I feel like I've missed out on so many wonderful things complaining about what I don't have. I am so glad that someone else can relate to that!
