"Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on." Yes it does, life goes on! That quote is significant to me not just in one scenario, but in all of the experience I've gained throughout my adult life. It's one of those quotes that just keeps me going and most of all, sane. It may seem harsh to a weak minded person, but to me it's reality. The quote is pretty famous, but in my mind it's something everyone should know, might help some pretty depressed people get out of the dumps. The older I get, the more mature I get! I know where the quote came from but I'm not quit sure exactly who wrote it, but whoever they are I'd say they probably have a pretty swell head on their shoulders.
The quote has so much importance to me because, I know exactly what he or she meant. Read that quote to me five years ago it would have went straight over my head, I guess it's part of the bitter sweet way we grow in age and wisdom. To me it goes hand in hand with the quote "Don't spend so much time planning your future that you forget to live your life". I am completely guilty of this as well as most of my peers. People spend so much time, effort, and emotion planning future events,careers, marriages etc. that they don't even know if they will be around to enjoy. Clearly not one hundred percent literal, but you get the gist. To a certain extent those said situations are necessary, but people can become extremely obsessive about them.
So many people are dying every singe day in this world we live in. It is very easy to live life maybe a little to much, I know this from personal experience, but I'd much rather take life to it's full potential and take risks then to end up in my forties, fifties, and sixties with absolutely nothing intriguing to talk about, like most people I've known through out my life. Not to come off naive or ignorant, obviously there are things that happen to people in their lives that put a huge holt on the way they're forced to live, young pregnancies, disease, financial situations etc., but these obstacles can be overcome, with dedication and hard work. Something my generation is rapidly loosing sight of!
I'll try to remain humble in this statement; I may have made some poor decisions in my life that have led to some substantial delays on becoming a successful young adult, but I wouldn't change it for the world, I can very confidently say I've done more and experienced more then most middle aged people I know, and for that I will continue to take risks and go on spontaneous trips, until my legs and pockets won't allow it. To whom it may concern, maybe you should too!
