What's Done is Done.

One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is that the past is the past, and you should never dwell on it.

Memories are like shoe boxes with photographs, sometimes we want to go up in the attic and sit around for hours looking at them. It's like playing with fire, it's dangerous, because what you feel when you look at them is an illusion.. the people you are looking at no longer feel the way they felt when the picture was taken, those things are gone from their head. So there's no point to it, and although you know all this when you start digging it conveniently slips your mind at one point or another -- its just important to snap back to reality when you're done.

I feel like I've been living in a dream for the last couple months. Its funny, when you start dating someone new and do it right away -- sometimes you feel like you're jumping in too fast too soon. Then, time passes.. and you slowly begin to really appreciate someone outside yourself in a way you never have before. It's funny and cliche, but falling in love feels really good.

Refresh.

I have been having one of those days where some soul searching is in order. There are so many times that I can remember where I have felt unsure about where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do with my life. Today, the question that has been burning in the back of my head: how do you measure the quality of someone's life, when is it fair to say that one person leads a better life than another?

It may not make much sense, but I am not officially 21 years old. These types of questions come up because instead of living in my own apartment independently I still heavily rely on my parents for shelter food and cell phone bills. Most of the time I don't even think twice about this, because I am going to school and trying to fulfill what I think are my dreams. But then again once in a while I sit back and look at my life and think.. what if I had gone down another path?

I want to travel, see the world.. take pictures. I feel like I am too busy having fun to stop and smell the roses and really enjoy the little things in life that I wish I could do more often but just never get the chance.
