CARPE DIEM.

I find myself clinging to Carpe Diem today to help me confront an issue that maybe we all are a little guilty of when our hearts get to aching.(Which you will come to realize is ironic.) Why is it that when things do not go our way, and we just can't seem to find a way to express it, we look for song lyrics, or short quotes, or some way to display our feelings in small pieces on social media sites? We act like we're being sly...or some of us are so obvious it's almost entertaining. Why the heck do we put ourselves through this though? And then we get so mad when the people we want to notice still have no idea what's going on with us. It's like we post secrets that we desperately wish our loved ones will work to decode.
I know why we do it. MEMORIES. We cling on to the idea "what ifs?" We beat ourselves up about it until it leaks out in funny ways for all to see. Don't let things from your past interfere with the here and now...hold onto it like that last tight hug at the moment being... because when you cast it away, it's gone for good. No matter how many "what if's?" you summon up in your head... not one of them will ever get a chance. Live in the NOW.. and love every minute of it. Don't play games with yourself, you're wasting time, and it's a beautiful day!
I've spent years writing "in code" on this blog, and hoping that the people I'm writing to will come across my posts. It was so much easier than dealing with them face to face. But I'm making this change, and I'm living in the moment. CARPE DIEM.
