Let Yourself.

Do you ever feel things are just so right that something must be wrong? You're just having the time of you're life, and things are all in place, but you remember that they can't be, so you make something up in your head and ruin the moment? Is this just me? Do you all think I'm crazy now, or can someone relate?

It doesn't seem to make sense... Why would we ruin the moment with an unhappy thought, or a dreary remembrance? Is it because we keep being reminded and taught the painful lie that good things never last? Is it that haunting idea that each passing moment, each day, each hour, each second that goes by, will never ever return? Is it because memories seem to happen so quickly, they seem to become memories too fast. Only memories. Nothing we can re-live quite the same again. So fleeting, so quick, like uncachable wisp of 

smoke... 

Is it those thoughts that hold us back from enjoying the moment? 

Why do we let this happen? It's pessimistic, and sad. I want to choose the positive side. Instead of musing on how I won't get a minute back, I want to do the most that I can with that minute I have! Instead of being sad that the beautiful moments will go, I want to enjoy them while they last! 

And we all can do this every moment, anytime we want! Just take in the magnificence, the glory, of this time. Now. Now happens so fast, and yet it is constant. Now is where we live. We don't live in the past, we can't live in the future. The only time we can really do something is now. Isn't that amazing? Why not enjoy each "now" that we get? Why not be present? 

I want to give us all a challenge. Let's let ourselves just be happy! Let's let ourselves BE ourselves. Let's let ourselves take in and make the most of every moment that comes.
