cycle

its a funny and contradicting life cycle we all seem to go through. its quite apparent to those that have began to go through it, but it still makes me chuckle nonetheless. we spend all of our teen years focusing so much on what it takes to get us noticed and to have instant happiness.  spend the $200 you don't have to get the brand new phone model that turns out to be not so great in the first place.  listening to parents-oh its out of the question. we spend all that time just knowing that we are right and knowing that this is the life.

and then the time of life comes where we start to realize that maybe that lifestyle was not exactly what was best.  with slow lessons on money, school, true friends, and becoming yourself, that trickle into your lifestyle, we slowly realize, that maybe we didn't really have it all together.  maybe we really weren't as smart as we thought. and yes-maybe all along our parents were right.

i can only imagine that this continues and continues with each phase of life. thinking the next will be better. and that the next, we'll finally get it right. only to hopefully learn somewhere along the lines, that right here and right now is where its most important. and to always stay right here and right now.
