Live for today, so you can have memories for tomorrow!!

You know those conversations that you have where the whole group is reminiscing about old times and you constantly hear Awhhh I miss that. It seems like lately that is always happening to me. Or I just think about something and I really do miss so many things that I took for granted.

I remember being little and fearless and all you wanted to do was have fun! When you could run for what seemed like ever without getting tired. When you would fall and skin your knee and jump back up because it was no big deal. when riding your bike was an everyday thing. When it didn't matter that you weren't wearing make up or your hair wasn't done. When everything was a game and you didn't have a care in the world. When you used your imagination and didn't care that people were watching. When thinking a boy was cute was a BIG deal. I remember when playing was more important that eating. When it didn't bother you that your hands were dirty. When all you wanted to do was be big! When you just couldn't wait to grow up.

I remember being in Jr. High and just trying to figure out what was going on. When you started worrying about what you wore or your hair. When you first put on make up and it was absolutely horrendous. When boys became hott not cute. When you first held a guys hand, but were way to scared to actually kiss. When being "cool" became important. When you took a look at who your friends were. When you learned about gossip. When you learned about true friends. when EVERYTHING was the end of the world. When you first ditched class. When you start learning what the bad words actually are, and what things are. When you had to buy your first bra(even though I didn't have boobs, everyone else just had one, so I wanted one). When you get the puberty lesson and you just giggle about it. When the bowling alley was cool. When a tiny bit of rebellion was huge and the BIGGEST secret ever. When you talked about "When we are in high school.". When all you wanted was to go to high school.

I remember being in High School thinking it was so cool. When Senior boys were the hottest thing ever. When boys were sexy instead of hott. When you thought you were awesome. When you realized you weren't. When holding hands turned into kissing and kissing turned into making out and making out turned into.... you get the point. When everything was still a big deal. When your style changed every few months. When cruising was cool. When you took all night to get ready and could only go out for an hour.When you learned how damaging rumors are. When you learned about mean girls. When you learned about revenge and grudges.When you learned about high school parties. When you learned how bad of a driver you actually are. When you had a lunch routine and could eat ridiculous amounts of food in a short time. When you learned how to eat and drive. When everything was an inside joke.When you only liked boys from other schools. When you had a boy in every other school. When your shirt got lower and your pants got tighter.... at least once. when you just wanted to be a senior. When you got denied by the one guy you actually liked. When you cried over a guy and watched movies and ate ice cream with that one true friend that will always be there. When you go do completely ridiculous stuff just because. When you ditched school and some how never got caught( because we didn't learn in Jr. high).When you really didn't learn anything. When you all the fast food restaurants in town knew what you were getting. When you would buy hot n spicy's with pennies. When all you wanted to do was graduate.

And... now I look back and wonder what my hurry was! I wish I would have looked at things different and enjoyed every single little thing instead of looking forward only to growing up. Because I was so set on the future I didn't enjoy the present as much as I should have I didn't appreciate all the little things. When I look back and reminisce in 10 years I want to be able to say I enjoyed that as much as I could have, and I did everything I could to make that day amazing!! No matter what you will always remember things and miss things but if you make everything the best you can be completely happy looking back but knowing you are living everyday to its fullest and not trying to live for what could come. If you live for today the better memories you will have tomorrow!!! Don't live in the past wanting to go back but sometimes it is good to think back and remember but you cant live in the future just waiting for things you what. Do what you can now and make absolutely every moment something worth remembering.

But..... I would like to say that there are certain people that have made soo many amazing memories for me. That I always lived in the moment with.
I could go on for days about all the stories and amazing times that I have had with my Family. Each member of my family I have at least one story that immediately comes to mind. I could write a book on my crazy family that I absolutely love!! I know my family isn't normal but they are fun and those make the best times. There are way too many memories to even put in here, but they are all entertaining.
Then there are my friends that will always bring up some of the times I have laughed the hardest and had the most fun. I might not have the most friends in the world because of some of the things I learned but those friends that I do have really do mean something and I will never ever forget them.
There are always those random people who have come through and you don't have many memories but you still do and they are amazing. It is the little things that make life sooo enjoy everything because when you wake up tomorrow its not always there.


So... Just Love Me and live for today(even though I contradict myself because this post is completely about the past).
