However, when I first started the journal, it was solely dedicated to writing quotes and analyzing them. I've been trying to find a good quote to start this "series" I guess you can call it and I was flipping through my yearbook from last year and stumbled upon someone's senior quote which I saw as fitting.
"Life is the adventure."
The biggest complaint I hear from people my own age (and I admit, myself as well) is that they can't wait to graduate high school and "get out of fill in the blank with the city you live in." While that is all fine and dandy, not one of our days on Earth is guaranteed. We seemingly wish our lives away for the next best moment or adventure when the time we have now is the adventure. No one is getting younger so make the most of each day. Life is an adventure, good or bad. Each moment of our lives provides us the opportunity to make the choice to either be positive or negative about a situation.
I hope that as the rest of my senior year unfolds, and throughout my life, I remember that life is the adventure and that it goes by quick. I vividly remember the first day of senior year and just thinking about how ready I was for the year to be over. Now, there are 63 days until the last day of high school EVER and I have been reflecting over what an incredible year it has been.
Don't get so caught up in looking for a bigger, better adventure that you forget that what you are doing now is the adventure.
Until next time,
Taylor xx
