Possibilities

There are some days that seem to last forever, and then there are some that you would give your soul to  stay in that moment. I have always been one to live in the moment and let time flow by, never to ponder for too long the passing, but over the past month I have been squeezing every last moment into my day. I don't want to let anything get by me.  For some reason I feel life is too short to let it pass you by. I want to live each day to the fullest and never take it for granted.

Someone once told me that " To live like normal is no way to live, you must live like everything is unexpected". I knew what meant at the time, but as I grew older and watched time slip by, I realized that we don't have all the time in the world to do what we want, we have to squeeze every last drop of the day into our lives to really live to the fullest. Now I know this seems like it would take some getting used too but if you really think about it then it really isn't that hard.

Look around you, there are people you don't even know just waiting to talk to you. They may not know that they are waiting for you but they are. You are there for a reason and you may know why you are there but there is always another path or detour you can take. You can always come back to where you and take the direction you wanted to take after. Just imagine what you will find if you take a unexpected turn. There is no end to the possibilities. Take a chance and see where it leads.

Take one day at a time and see what happens. Even if you have places to go and people to see, see what happens when you veer off to somewhere new. Enjoy the moments of life like nothing else matters. You can never go back in time so we must always move forward into the unknown. There is no time like the present to start. Meet new people and try something different.

I took a chance one night and found something amazing. I found someone to spend my time with, to enjoy SL with, to share all that I am with. He knows me almost too well some days, but then we surprise each other everyday also. We found joy in each other and I will treasure that for the rest of my life. What would have happened if I didn't go to that event that night? What if I hadn't replied back to the IM? Where would I be today if I had said " eh... no thanks" to the friendship offer? I'll tell you; I would be sitting at home, pining for someone to share my Sl with. I would be agonizing over the ones who I lost. I would be haunting my old spots just waiting for someone to say "hello" to me. But I took a chance and spoke to someone whom I didn't know, and look where I am now. I'm as happy as a clam and can hardly remember the ghost of shell that I was.

I wish everyone would try this: talk to someone who is alone and wandering. Just say "hello" or "how are you" and see where it leads. You could find the love of your life or your new best friend, or both in my case. Life it too short to let these moments pass, grab them by their wings and fly with them. Dare to dream of another life and get on the path of the unexpected. Take a sharp stick and poke at things you wouldn't think of poking. If you follow this then you may just find a whole new life waiting for you around the bend. Enjoy your Sl and your RL. It's all in what you make of it and nothing more unless you try.
