Living Life to the Fullest
I can not lie; on the first day of class I walked in not really knowing how this class would really play out. I was scared to an extent that it would be very dry and depressing. Needless to say I was very wrong! I have more of an appreciation for the dying process and more value for the time I have left here myself. To bring up a blog made by a previous student entitled the, "bucket list" really sums up my thoughts reaching the end of this class. Every year it is the same question, "What do you want to do for your birthday?" Each year I always laugh and say I want to go sky diving. I recently took the time and signed up for a day to go and actually do my dream activity. My parents being very protective keep telling me to hold off and wait until I am older. When is the time to do these things though? Should I wait until I am older? The times have somewhat shifted; my grandparents now travel everywhere but went no where when they were my age. I would rather spend my time now being young doing all those things I would put on my 'bucket list' rather than wait until I am older. Is it wrong and selfish of me to postpone life to enjoy my youth, get all my dreams out of the way and then decide to settle down? It really has me thinking that maybe I am doing the sequence out of order.

Not it is not selfish to do things for yourself now when you are young. If you wait and do not get the time, you will always wonderwhat could have been. I did not get a chance to do many things while I was younger because of having a child. Don't get me wrong, I love my children, but I alway think about what my life would have been like if I had waited to have them. Enjoy your youth. You will have plenty of time to do the responsible thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree in living life to the fullest, I do think that sometimes we have to take time for ourselves and actually go out and do what we want to do. A lot of times I feel like I put off things that I really want to do in order to please others, and it shouldn't be that way. I think when I do that people don't appreciate anything that is done for them, so the heck with what they want, I'm going to start doing things that make me happy!
