Carefree Living

"TODAY IS A NEW DAY!  LIVE IN THE PRESENT, HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, FORGET THE PAST AND LIVE WITH NO REGRETS."
 
This is a quote I came up with myself one day after a streak of really bad days.  I've decided that there is no reason to continue to be down in the dumps about everything.  Yes, life sucks sometimes, but why dwell on it?  Everyone has bad days.  Everyone goes through bad hair days.  Everyone has a lack of money at some point in their life.  Everyone hates their job at some point.  I came to this realization and it was like a huge epiphany. 
 
And off went a LIGHT BULB....
 
I want to continue to live my life the way I USED to when I was younger.  I used to not care what other people thought about me.  I have always been a carefree person that's always done what I wanted, when I wanted and not cared about what others thought.  I've even told any guys that I started dating that's how I was and wouldn't answer to anyone.... and if they had a problem with it, we shouldn't be dating.  And most people haven't had a problem with such an independent person.  My husband has never minded... I think :).  Right, honey?  RIGHT? ;) 
 
So here I am.... not caring what others think about me anymore, doing what I want, and just living in the moment.  I've realized if I want to get where I want in my life, I can't do it by sitting by and letting others get the job, or walk on me.  I've got to stand up and BE in the MOMENT and not look back.  No regrets.  Everything happens for a reason, and the reason I'm here is so we could get married (and a lack of jobs back in Tennessee).  It's time to toughen up and move on to bigger and better things.
 
World, I hope you're ready for me, because I'm ready for the world!!!!  Now, WHO IS WITH ME?!
 
Again, "...Live in the present, hope for the future, forget the past and live with no regrets"

  1. You go girl!! I think you've got the right idea... do what makes YOU happy! I've realized that I used to go with the flow a lot and do things just because, even if I didn't really want to. Now I'm working on doing more of what I want to do and less of what everybody else wants me to do!

  2. It seems like such a slow process getting back to that point in my life, but at some point I'll get there again :) Thanks for the uplifting comment, girl!
