Living

A few nights ago after watching the last half of the Descendants with the couple I live with, I offered to return the video for them. As I was pulling into blockbuster I was reminded of how I use to return movies to video rental places with a close ex-girlfriend. We use to do things like this all the time. It was not anything extraordinary, it was just normal everyday life, like running an errand, or seeing a movie or going out to eat at some place we wanted to visit. Life was about living freely and enjoying the things we were passionate about. We were open about our thoughts and feelings and I remember how happy I was back then.

It was a jarring thought as I have gotten so use to living for my paycheck or doing whatever I need to do just to get by that I let go of things I care about. I have lost bits & pieces of who I am and what makes me happy. Living with the Pearson’s I have recaptured a bit of that and I realize as I move forward in life I want to recapture that happiness in how I live my life and with my relationships.
