Remember the story we started with? Well, that little girl… She’s all grown up now.
She’s taking a hold of the chances that come her way. She’s being careless enough to make the most of whatever she has. Even if she knows it’ll wear it out.
Because she knows things are worth more when they hold memories. Of the good, the bad, the stressful, the blissful, the frustrating and the rewarding. It’s because she knows that’s the essence of living. Actually living the moment.
And she has a few things to say to anyone like her. Enjoy the present moment. It’ll disappear one day and you’ll miss it. Make as many experiences as possible. Just like situations, your life’s moving towards an end too.
Say what you feel, feel what you say. The moment is very short and it’s fleeting.
What would it be worth to live a life with risks, without challenges, without ups and downs?
Enjoy it. Make that a priority.
If you can’t tell already, then surprise! The little girl, she’s me. And I’m glad I stayed true to my resolve and made the most of this trip.
