Embracing Every Moment

I have a new love in my life. He is strong and dependable. He is absolutely gorgeous and TONS of fun. He doesn’t treat me poorly and he fits me perfectly.

I am talking about a car. I know what you’re thinking: Why are you in love with a car. Here, let me show you:


I can’t help it. I think you might have to take into consideration the fact that I have always loved a good sports car. Before I was even able to drive I was in love with the BMW Z3 Roadster. I wanted a hunter green with a tan top, because it had to be a convertible. And now here I am, with my own beautiful car. I am completely in love with it. I think that it is the first step of many that I am taking towards the life I want to live.

I want to embrace everything that life has to offer and I am tired of sitting in the wings watching as everyone else enjoys life. I only get to live once and I want to make the most out of every chance I’m given. Sometimes I feel like I am wasting my life. I watch too much tv and too many movies. I don’t tell the people I love how much I love them often enough. I don’t keep my stuff organized and I let things wait until later. I am over that. Instead I want to take each opportunity that passes by and jump on it.

I think sometimes that I play it too safe. I end up saying no to too many things and saying yes to too few. I want to make my life about the yeses. Missed opportunities are more often the regrets we have in life as opposed to the things we’ve done. I want to sing more, take more pictures, learn more, read more, and write more. I want to live more.

Life should be about the moments we choose to live. I think that we often take life for granted. Each day is a gift that we have been given and to squander that gift would be a shame. I don’t let myself experience enough. I have so many things that I want to accomplish and buying this car has kind of sparked something inside of me that is pushing me on to something more.

I know that I will not always make the most of every day, but shouldn’t I try? Shouldn’t I be living every moment with as much gusto as possible? I want people to look back on my life and say, wow, what an amazing woman. I don’t want my life to just be another flicker of light that started and ended just as quickly. Each moment of my life should be lived to the fullest and I want that to be said of me. I want to be the person that people look at and thing, I would love to have her life. Today, I want to take advantage of everything that I have been given.
