Living In the Moment

''Just because you're breathing, doesn't mean you're alive.'' -Tablo

I've thought about this quote for a while questioned what I'm doing with my life at this moment. I'm on the computer 24/7, I procrastinate all my homework, eat, sleep, and then I realized I'm not doing much right now. I hear old people say how life feels like it's passing slow right now but when I grow up and look back, it seemed to short to enjoy.

 I want to get used to this lifestyle of thinking that each day is important and each day is a new beginning. I want to improve on something each day, no matter what it is. To think that today is bad, feel better knowing I have tomorrow to improve. I'm trying to be more grateful of everything, seeing the little things and enjoying every bit of it. I don't want to just breathe, be sad about everything and dwell on the past, I want to actually be something. I admit, I usually take stuff for granted and I will try not to. Forget greed, jealousy, anger, or just simple stuff I shouldn't be involved in. I just want to make more out of myself and be the best person I can be. Hopefully, the stuff I wrote down today will stick with me and I will go by my word.

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.” 
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations

Thanks to everyone and everything that made me who I am today. I am grateful and will improve myself will not let anything throw me down.
I'm feeling more alive already.
