since I met the guy who changed my life. <3

yeah, I'm going all sappy, I know. but you guys can grant me this one day to be ridiculously, enormously, happy. because I know that, no matter what life throws at me, what school dumps on my plate, what my jobs do to shatter my sanity, how much my bank account says I have (or how much I lack), how much I owe, or how many all-nighters I have to pull to make ends meet....

I have found the most important thing.

and for that, I know that I am the luckiest, richest girl in all the world.

I know that there are things I WANT, and maybe things I "need", but in the end, that's always been the case. Another circle, another trip around the sun, never made that any more or less true in my life--or yours, or anyone else's. January may be a convenient time to re-set your goals, but only as convenient as hitting your snooze button so that you wake up at 7:45, rather than 7:32. It's something that, on one hand, I want to take seriously--but on the other hand, I know that January is just an excuse for something that we should've been doing all along: making our lives, or the world, or both, a better place.

So, yeah, there are things I WANT to do. But we all have those.

But if there's something I RESOLVE to do, something I want to--no, HAVE to--change, something where I will say "enough is freaking enough", then it's just this: live without regrets. After all, looking back at my life, I've got more than enough of those. Things I should've said or done. Lines I shouldn't have crossed.

But I guess, part of living without regret is putting your past regrets behind you.

So yeah, I'll hit the snooze button, too. Wake up at 7:45, instead of 7:32, like I should've. Better late than never, right? Better to slap myself in the face now, move on, and look to the future, instead of dwelling in the past.

Time to open my eyes. A new day has started, and I've been asleep for too long.
