Life Happens

Lately I have been discovering what life is. Some get more of it than others, some people have a more pleasant experience than others, some seem to understand it more than others. I have been learning to treasure each moment more, stressing a little less and appreciating all the little quirks that make life that much more interesting.

I've always had an idea of how I wanted my life to go. What I never took into account is how to actually make that happen AND be able survive at the same time (i.e. pay bills, taxes, food, housing, etc). Right now I think of life as this game you play; saving money, spending money, going through trials, perhaps pressing the restart button a few times and in the end the game is over. So how can I make this life right now meaningful to me and to others? How can I learn as much as I can before it's over? How can I make a difference? I guess I'll always be learning the answers to those questions. Right now all I can do is try my best to continue on in this game and see what's going to pop out at me around the next corner.
