on and on and on and on it goes...

Life's funny... I realized recently that I was free from something that had a hold on me for many years. And now that I'm free of it, I can only wonder what exactly it was about said thing that I couldn't seem to get away from. It's funny how, when you're all wrapped up in the drama and feelings of a moment you can't ever imagine life being different. You can't imagine what it will be like to have something or someone completely gone from your life. But when it happens and the drama is over you hardly remember what it was like before. It feels good to be constantly reminded that life goes on. Some people view the constant moving forward of life as an unpleasant/sad/scary thing. It means we're all getting older. It means that before we know it we'll be at a completely different stage of our lives. But I think it's amazing. It's amazing to know that each part of life holds different pleasures and joys. I may be saying something different when I'm 85 and can't remember who you are and pee myself randomly but I won't remember that I ever said this then so it doesn't matter anyway. I wish people could realize that whenever they're in an unpleasant situation, job, relationship, or whatever, that the pain they'll experience getting out of it will soon be gone and be replaced by something better.

My life isn't perfect. It never will be. But I'm really happy right now. I like being 25. I like my job. I like the randomness of my life. I like my friends (some more than others ;-).) I like that I can drive over to my parent's house and eat my mother's cooking and hang out with my family... Life is good.
