live

I've spent a lot of my time waiting to LIVE the life I want to live. It's like I'm always waiting for the perfect scenario, group of people, sphere of influence, location... the "right time". To be honest, I'm not even sure what that looks like, but I'm quick to say the now is not it. 

I'm constantly looking ahead, wishing away the current moments so I can finally get to where I'm supposed to be. When I'm older...

When I get to...

When people stop talking...

Truth is, there will always be a reason to wait. There will always be an imperfect scenario.

People will always talk. Time will always go on. Your surroundings will be ever changing. Life is happening whether you're choosing to live it or not.

But that's just it. That's exactly what makes people who are simply living so beautiful. Living a beautiful life isn't something that's just handed to you. You could have everything in this world and still feel so empty. To be honest, that happens more times than not. The beauty of living isn't what you have or where you are, its the ability to thrive, grow, and blossom WHEREVER you may be planted, and the rarity of this makes it all the more distinguished. People who are busy living don't have time to care to tear down what others are doing or worry about what others are saying, because they are too busy enjoying life to even listen to it. 

You're confined only by the limitations you create for yourself. No matter where you are in life, there will be obstacles. I've spent so long waiting for those obstacles to disappear so that I could fully lean into the life meant for me.

But I finally realized that life starts today. It starts by following your heart, taking insanely crazy chances, loving fearlessly, and freeing yourself from the standards and opinions the world may put on you-- REGARDLESS of where you are, who your with, or how small you might feel

At the end of the day, all that matters is that you know you gave this life your best. The rest is just noise

So whatever might be holding you back, confining you, or slowing your process to being who you want to be, let it go.

LIVEEE fully the life meant for you. be bold, brave, loud and FREE. Viva la vida!
