guiding thoughts

"we must learn to think of anticipation as learning, as growth. if we think of the time we spend waiting for the big things as an opportunity instead of a passing of time, what wonderful horizons open up!" [a. neagle]
boy oh boy, do i need to eat, sleep and breathe this quote. you know that little problem i have with living in the future? well it has become a big, dark, encompassing, nasty trait as of late. so much that i am having a really hard time appreciating the here and now. thoughts of buying a home, being passionate about my career, and settling down are [seriously] overwhelming my ability to love where i am at. so i shall take this passing of time as an opportunity. an opportunity to explore a city. to make new friends. to make a child happy. an opportunity to learn more about myself. and i am sure, when i have truly come to peace with this place in my life, the anticipation will cease and everything will fall into place. won't it?

may you find joy in the here-and-now. may this limbo of time, the stuck in between your past and living happily ever after, be an experience that holds as much weight as those far reaching goals. because we will miss this one day. and one day, we will look back on this time and wish we wouldn't have wasted it on wishing. have a fulfilling week, my friends.
