I am a procrastinator. I will wait to do things until the last possible minute so I am notorious for saying "Yeah, I'll do it tomorrow." The thing about saying that is tomorrow is not promised. Life is so unexpected and has so many unexpected ups and downs. We always count on having a tomorrow but some people don't get that chance. Some people have plans for a tomorrow but that tomorrow never comes.

Everyone makes these plans because they think they have their whole life in front of them. Why would I do that know when I can do it when I get older? We do not even process that this life can be taken away so easily until something near death happens to us. Then it's like we went through this wake-up call where we start thinking we should live life to the fullest but don't actually do it. We have all these plans but life just seems to get in the way at every turn. We have rent and bills to pay, essays to write, jobs to work, responsibilities that we have to do, all these things that come with being an adult that we forget to enjoy life. We forget that life is a gift and it can be taken away with the snap of someone fingers. Sometimes when I'm driving on a green light and I see cars stopping because they see that their light is red sometimes I think about how easily they can end my life if they are in a rush and decide to run that light. People are so unpredictable and you have no idea what they are thinking at any time, so often our lives are in the hands of other people and we have to trust them enough to hope they don't do anything rash. We are making all these plans and sometimes we are never able to accomplish them.

We weren't put on this world to pay bills till we die. Many times money is an issue, some people do not have the means to travel the world like others but that does not mean you can't live the life you were given to the fullest. Take a deep breath and go for a walk and see the world that is around you. Get out of your own mind and your own problems. It is all about the bigger picture in life. You can change someone's day just by smiling at them. Not all of use get the same cards in life and so many times those cards are really horrendous. There is a lot of choices you can't make, but there is so many more that you can. You go to bed when you have a bad day and all you can hope is that it will get better tomorrow, but for some people, it doesn't. Some people do not get to even wake up. You have to acknowledge the good things that happen no matter how hard it could be. All the negativity in your life just leads you down a rabbit hole of problems.

We only get to live this life right now in this very moment once. We can't take it for granted so life it as best as you can.
