My thoughts on life after watching "Remember Me"

Life.
Oh how beautiful it is.
Filled with so many wonderful things - 

so many amazing people. 

Sadly enough, It's taken for granted more
than it is appreciated. 

Or so I've noticed.....

The way I see it?
We busy ourselves everyday with so many 

things we DON'T enjoy. 

Sure, sometimes we can't help that, 

but a lot of times we can.

We put aside so much -

Love, Happiness, Peace, Joy.

Even our biggest dreams are put aside

to do things that don't really make us happy.

It will leave us feeling as though 

something is wrong...something is missing.

So many people these days 

don't go after what they really want in life.

They miss out on doing what they truly love,

or maybe being with someone they love,

 for what?

You see, what I've been noticing lately is that

we act as though we live forever. 

(I'm guilty of doing it myself.) 

Ignorant fools we are to 

think it too. 

What we all seem to be forgetting  

is a REALLY important thing.

We can only live this life once. 

We have ONE chance to 

make life the absolute best

it could possibly be for ourselves. 

And the really sucky part of it? 

We're not guaranteed any certain amount of

days on this earth. For all

I know, this could be the last thing I write. 

I hear so many people tell me,
"yea, well life isn't fair."
You know, it's not always fair. 

It can suck pretty dang bad some days but we make

it through it don't we? And we come

out even stronger.

I personally don't think too many people

are truly being fair to themselves really. I mean

think about it. So many people these

days shut the doors to their 

biggest dreams. 

They stop listening to what their hearts 

 are saying and instead they 

choose to do something that will make 

them not so happy... miserable even. and for what?

Some do it for money,

others because their parents expect it

of them. 

But, I don't really think any of it's worth it though, 

if you can't say that you're truly

happy and mean it.

If you were to die tomorrow and

you got to look back on your life what would you see?

Are you happy with what you see?

Were you for the most part truly happy

with life and everything in it?

Do you see things you wish you could do differently?

Wish you could've gone somewhere?

Or seen someone?

Maybe you didn't say something

to someone you wish you had?

I know any person reading this should

look back and ask yourself,

am I really happy?

If you died tomorrow, or maybe even

a month from now. Would you be ok

with leaving life the way it is?

My point? I feel that everyone is moving so fast. 

Even I have days where I can't truly enjoy

life because I'm too busy

worrying about the future. Wishing that

the past could be the present. We all do it, we're

only human. 

In order though, to live life to the very fullest - 

we have to take it one

step at a time. Do what makes YOU happy.

Follow your heart, trust in yourself, in God.

and just believe that no matter

what happens, you'll be ok. 

Anything we go through in life - no matter

how dark we think it is.

There's always going to be a light 

at the end of every tunnel.

We will be ok and as I said earlier, 

the things we go through in life will only

make us stronger.

I would know... I'm writing this based off experience.

Last year I went through a rather difficult time.

During that time, I really

lost sight of who I was. What I wanted.

I felt as though all light left the

world, and there was only darkness. Silly

thing to think when I look back o it now, but I

truly felt that way.

I forgot my dreams. I couldn't remember how

to laugh, be happy, have fun. 

I was absolutely miserable.

Then one day everything came back to me with one person.

Robbie.

My now amazing boyfriend who I 

love with all my heart. He came into my life at the

most perfect moment as he always

has the past 5 years and he showed me happiness again.

I found love. Peace, and calmness. 

Joy. I felt safe. Comfortable.

I was myself again. I remembered my dreams.

I knew what I wanted and it was the

most amazing thing ever. 

I wanted to be a photographer for years. 

And now, at the age of 16, I am one. 

I have my own business that's

very successful in the short two months I've 

been doing it.

I know what I want to do in life, I know who 

I want to be with. I'm happy with

how my life is going and I can't 

WAIT to see what God has in store for me 

down the road. 

I can definitely lose sight of that every

now and then. But in the end - I'm doing what I love most by

following my passion in life.
I'm with the most amazing person in the world, the guy 

I wish to spend many years with.

I have the best family/support system. I wouldn't be anywhere

without any of them.

Right now I couldn't be happier.

If I were to die today, I'd die one hell of a happy girl. When I look back I don't 

have any regrets, and you know what? I'm very proud of the person I am today and 

what I've been able to do in my lifetime.

Not in the egotistical way of course, but in the loving 

way. As they say, you can't love others if you can't love yourself.

And for the first time  in my life, after looking back at all 

the things that I've made it through, and all

the things that I've done, I can actually say that I love who I've become. 

It feels amazing too :)

----------------------------------------

Just so you all know. I wrote all this down last night after 

watching the movie "Remember Me"

Instantly after it was over I got a pencil and paper and started writing

everything going through my head at that moment.
The movie really made me think about life. What people are doing 

with theirs and how mine is going. 

I hope I didn't bore you with my very long thought process 

about life. I obviously had a lot on my mind after watching that movie.

Realizing I could die at any given moment without notice, yea, that REALLY

got me thinking.....

I just figured I'd share with you all my thoughts

and opinions. After all, it IS what I created this blog for.

So I can let my mind roam where it wants to, 

and let my mind be free of all this crazyness! :P

Thank you for reading. I'll try and make these things shorter ;)
