Choices

At our age, people don't really think very far into the future. We think we are on top of the world, the only thing that is waiting for us is college and getting out of the house. Most people can't wait until that happens, and for some it won't happen at all. There are so many things waiting for us in our futures. Marriage, family, school...death. Have you ever thought about what will happen when those come? Maybe being back in high school won't be bad at all. You look back at the past and see how far you have come, and you look to the future and see how far you have to go. People underestimate how long they have to do the things they want. You don't have a gauranteed future. If you really think about it...those past years have gone by fast. Who says your future will go by any slower?
So why is everyone in such a big hurry to grow up?
Why can't we all live for today instead of worrying about tomorrow? So just remember:

"Turn off your mind, relax
And float down stream
Is it not dying.
Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
That love is all
And love in everyone
It is knowing
That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
But listen to
The color of you dreams
It is not living
Or play the game
Existence to the end
Of the beginning"
-The Beatles
