Weekend words.

Although this blog is mainly optimistic and dancy, happy, smiley and, at times, a little silly for the fun of being random, I know there's more to life for every one of us. We all have our lives, jobs, families, friends, our issues and our pasts to deal with.
To some, life's a smooth ride, but for the majority, life is a roller coaster. Sometimes the ups are so high we feel like we can fly - like we can do anything in the world, like we're on top of it all and have everything under control. And sometimes the downs are so low we feel like we might never get up from that dark place we're in.

Sometimes we feel nothing at all, and we don't know if we're on our way up or down, or simply being stuck in the same place. Sometimes we suddenly go through short lived loops of feelings and experiences, sometimes there's years in between them. Sometimes we long for them to appear, sometimes we pray they will be few and far in between to help us stomach the dizziness and keep our heads from spinning too fast.
No matter where you are in that roller coaster that is life right now, I wish that you'll all remember this one thing: Live for today. And I don't mean live like you will die tomorrow, because that is living because you know you're dying. Live because you know you are alive, not because you know death is to come.

All you will ever have is right now. You may plan for the future, but it will never come. All you will ever have is today, tonight, right now. And right now, you are alive, you are a fire burning and a sun shining. You are the very essence of life, and for that, you are beautiful:)

Try and make every day count. Don't worry too much about tomorrow or the day after. Cry for today. Laugh for today. Love for today. Live for the moment.

Just a note saying...

Dare to be different

Time to get philosophical! Or poetic, I should say. I love quotes and sayings. And some of them makes you think more than others.

My first ever favorite quote was this; Be yourself, everyone else is already taken. When I first read it, I didn't know who it was quoted from, but later came to learn it's one of many great Oscar Wilde quotes.

At the time I was about 13, and for me, reading that every day - it meant a lot. It made me realize what should be so blatantly obvious to everyone; we are who we are, and we're all perfect, and we're all perfectly flawed. Our personality, and even our "flaws", is what makes us unique and different from everyone else. Embracing who you are, and everything that you can be, is truly the greatest thing you can do for yourself. Don't try to be someone else, or what someone else expects you to be or wants you to be. Don't try to be something you think you should be because 'just you' isn't good enough. Just be yourself. And even though that simple sentence might take a lifetime to learn how to live by, it will make that lifetime so much more special if you dare to try.

Love, PW
