Momentum

I so just don't want to handle today like I'm supposed to. It's such a beautiful day and I am in such a great mood and have high hopes for what's to come. But I don't want to go to class, I don't want to go to work, I don't want to talk to people, I don't want to look decent, I don't want to work on this mother-effing anthropology project, I don't want to study, I don't want to even look at a clock and worry about time... I just want to be doing my own thing, living life without a schedule, doing things for me, by my own means, without responsibility - just for today. I want today to be a day without boundaries, without conformity, without a timetable. And you know what? Today can be just that, because it's my decision. Not the world's decision, not my mother's decision - MY decision. Unfortunately, life is not so kind, and a college student, such freedom at this time of year is not seen without devastating repercussion. As much as I'd love to let my responsibilities go just for today, I know that my patience for the end of the semester and continual hard work will pay off and the reward will be much greater. It's important to live in the moment. In this life and in this current situation of today, with tomorrow looming, it's also important to prepare for the future. Today, I make it my goal to find the balance and wake up tomorrow regret-free.
