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.
