Life

Life. Life is full of everything. It's full of possibilities, full of hardships, full of good times, full of bad times, full of strange times, full of boring times. It's full of everything. It's easy to get thrust into life. We don't plan it or ask for it it just happens. However, it's when we get into life that things get interesting. For me life is a vacation for the soul. The whole point is to live it!

Nowhere else except for life can we experience what we do. When we're alive we are subjected to the most incredible sights, the most exotic sounds, the most interesting smells, and the most powerful emotions. We get to eat, breathe, relax, work hard, exercise, love, hate, etc. Nowhere else do we get to do these things. During our lives we get to do as much as we possibly can. We get to experience both good times and bad times. Unfortunately sometimes we forget how integral the bad times are. Think of it this way: if there were no bad times then how would we know how good the good times are?

Life is full of good things and bad things. Life is full of miracles, and adventures, and perfect moments, and happiness, and joy, and love. It's also full of tragedies, and terrible moments, and hate, and fear. But these things are just different sides of the same coin. The coin of life. And you certainly wouldn't be able to live life to the fullest without the whole coin.

I recently had a perfect moment. On Thursday I went to the Valentine's dinner at Fast Eddie's. Many of my friends were there. There was Michelle, Kylan, Eryn, Rilan, Kelcey, Jordan, Crowder, Martha, Matt, and possibly others(if I forgot anyone I apologize). Before we left me, Kylan, Crowder, and Jordan smoked a second dynasty(generation) joint. Then we went there and we had dinner. The perfect moment didn't come during dinner, it came after. I sat back in my chair after eating around half of my meal completely stuffed. And I just sat there and listened to the conversations which were travelling around the table and thought "I am full and surrounded by friends. I am happy" and that was the perfect moment. Everyone in the world should be able to have a moment like that.

I know I am blessed in my life. I have a loving family and wonderful friends. I'm not going to do a list in which I thank my friends for certain things because I love you all equally and completely. You're the ones that help me remember the good times when things are bad. You're the ones that pick me up when I'm down. You're my friends.
