Sometimes I feel like I'm always waiting. I'm waiting for school to finally be over. I'm waiting for my finances to be more stable. I'm waiting for Mr. Right to come waltzing into my life and sweep me off my feet. I'm waiting to have a family of my own in a big house with a white picket fence. I'm waiting for life to begin.
Then I wonder, what if I don't finish school or my finances never line up? What if Mr. Right doesn't exist and I don't get to buy a house or have a family? What if the very things I'm waiting for never show up? What if all the time I have spent waiting should have been spent living because today is all that I truly have?
And what's more is that I close my eyes to what I don't have to wait for at all. I have family. I have friends. I have a great job. I love school. I have a life that cries out to be lived... today. For that, I am truly grateful. Because if I were to never get even an ounce more than I have right now, I would still have everything that genuinely matters.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a life to go live.
