Enjoy the Moment

Sometimes I ask myself, "Lauren, are you happy?" The response always seems to depend on certain factors in my life.

Then, I began to reevaluate my poor, pathetic priorities. I'm breathing, aren't I? I have a roof over my head, right? Then why do I still yearn for this contingency which I try to make glitter enough for the silver screen? The answer is, I have most likely seen way too many movies. 

I try to make my life a shadow of those cinematic moments made in front of cameras in Hollywood, and it hadn't struck me until recently. Sure, we've all seen those movies where the guy falls in love with his best friend, but she is temporarily unavailable because she is in a bogus relationship with the football captain. The end soon comes, the best friends realize this romance, and then they begin their little fairy tales full of love. 

Gag me.

You see, I've learned to take life as it comes. Will I ever meet my soul mate? Maybe. Have I already? It's possible. I'm beginning to "let the pieces fall into place," if you will. This lifestyle leaves me content with the way my pieces are falling. While friends are arguing with boyfriends or trying to balance their schedules between work, school, and dates, I currently focus on me, myself, and I. It's a feeling of being constantly at ease with my surroundings and daily outcomes. 

Ah, I can breathe the fresh air once again.

Until next time, enjoy each day without the need to perfect each moment.
