Untitled Motivation

For some, these last few months may have been a hell of a mental journey. Maybe you have lost friends or even a significant other, but maybe you have also gained many more friends. More than anything, I want you to understand that some people are here for ‘the now,’ some are here for ‘the while,’ and some are here for ‘the long haul.’ Sometimes we get so worked up on our present situations that “maybe we wanted to hear it so badly that our ears betrayed our minds in order to secure our hearts.” There are reasons why you are here in this exact moment and time in [insert the place you are in RIGHT now] that may not be understood now, but will someday become known. The “now’s,” the “while’s” and the “long hauls” are here to help you realize your dreams, your passions, your dislikes, your values or your reasons for being. Take it just as that and understand that nothing in life lasts forever, but it is nothing wrong with adoring and loving it while you have it. Right now, you have life, so LIVE IT!
