We all have a place we wanna get to,life is the journey that could potentially get us there. Often we overlook the journey for the destination,the forest for the tree. We spend so much time worrying about not being where we wanna be,that we miss out on everything beautiful that is where we're at right now.
                I'm not saying that we should take our eye off the prize...fuck it,that's what I'm saying. If we have tunnel vision,if all we see is what's ahead,then how can we see anything else? We must learn to make it a habit, part of our make-up, to stop and smell the roses as it was. To stick our tongue out the window of a moving car and see why dogs find it so amusing. Eat ice cream too quickly and get brain freeze. Swim naked in the ocean,a river, a lake...fuck it,your neighbour's swimming pool.
                         Freedom and jail, are both in our minds. There are men and women who are incarcerated who have more freedom than some who walk the street free. You should let your mind wonder, learn new things every day. smile at strangers and do something charitable/nice for someone you don't know. 
                                         In order to get to our destination quickly, we must enjoy the journey. When you get to where you want to be,you won't be relieved and exhausted. You'll have had an awesome adventure and stories to tell,friendships to cherish and love that is timeless and true. All because you were willing to look out the window,to open it and feel the wind on your skin. Because you were willing to dance in the rain and take in every flavour, taste every sensation. 
                                                                    
                                                                        You will know true happiness because you chose to live,to be an active participant in your life,rather than exist and wait for the journey to end. Live,love,feel,eat,drink,touch and taste. Be open and your life will truly be yours and it will be a hell of a story. Carpe Diem...
