The Time of Our Lives

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live"- JK Rowling.  If you forget to live and just sit in your  dreams, you aren't living life to what it is meant to be. You don't get a second chance at life.  Once it's over, it's over.  You don't get to live forever.  Some people may get to live longer than others, but that is just how life works.  You don't get everything on a silver platter.  Life is short so even when things go wrong, we have to enjoy every second of it.

Life is like an hourglass, you only have a certain amount of time before all of the sand falls to the bottom.  The difference is that this hourglass is invisible to everyone on Earth.  No one can guess when you are going to die.  They can make guesses as to when you will die based on your condition at the moment and the age that most people live to be, but no one can tell exactly.  The hourglass won't tell anyone when you are going to die.  The only person that can see any of it, is you, as you lay, dying, you can feel the last few grains of sand fall to the bottom.  Everyone has a different amount of sand in their hourglass, and since no one can see how much sand is left, we have to enjoy life while we can.

Enjoying life is simple, all you have to do is live it.  You don't have to spend a ton of money to go on a bunch of vacations, but it could be something as easy as going for a walk.  As long as you are with the people you love, nothing else matters, not even the weather.  It could be pouring rain as you are outside on your walk, but as long as you are with your friends or family, it doesn't matter, it just makes the situation more fun.  Whereas if you were by yourself in the rain, you would start running home, there would be no one to laugh with.  The only thing that you can do to have a good life, is enjoy it.

Anything you do help you enjoy life more, as long as you look at the bright side.  For example, have you ever thought washing the floor could be fun?  Most people would answer no, but as for me, the answer would be yes.  How could doing a chore be enjoying life?  You just have to make the best out of it.  One time when my sister and I cleaned the floor, we took the rags, put them under our feet, and waddled around.  Meanwhile, there was music blasting in the background and since we were the only ones home, no one was there to stop us.  We had a great time sliding around our kitchen, but we also cleaned the floor.

When plans get ruined, when tragedies happen,  when things go wrong, we have to realize that we aren't going to live forever.  And instead of being upset about it, we have to get over it.  And instead of living in the past, we have to enjoy the present.  Life isn't perfect so we have to accept it as it is.  Life isn't perfect so we just have to try and enjoy it while we can.
