living in the moment.

easy to say, but sometimes hard to do.

because at times,

i wish i were a kid again.

when the only movies i could watch were rated G.

where the hardest thing to deal with

was learning to

tie my shoes.

&& when i got hurt,

i could run to my mommy

&& everything would be okay.

when groceries were free.

when my daddy was the only boy i ever kissed.

when santa did exist.

when i could eat any kind of junk food

and not worry about the consequences.

&& when life gets tough,

you can just play pretend.

but at the same time,

i realize that if i keep looking back,

i'll be doing the same thing ten years from now.

looking back to where i am now.

i wish everyone saw that,

&& rather than regretting,

they learned from their mistakes.

because life is so good.

i'm so close with god right now.

i have an amazing family,

&& amazing friends who care about me.

my heart was broken.

&& i am so humbled that god put somebody in my life

to put all the pieces back

together.

"people see god every day.

they just don't recognize him."
