My Life Flashed Before My Eyes

So, my life is pretty much the most awesome thing ever right now.  I have amazing friends, and I keep meeting amazing new friends in all new places.  There’s not a night where I’m not out doing something with someone, and I’ve got a million nets to catch me should I fall.  I am truly loved, for who I am, by so many people right now and it makes my life so bright and gives me the strength to keep moving every day.  I couldn’t have asked for anything more than this in life.  It’s beautiful, and sometimes I find myself stunned by the moments as they pass by because I can’t believe that I got from where I was, to where I am now.

Like last night, was an epic night in Georgetown at Mr. Smith’s Piano Bar.  There were shots, there were bottles of wine, delicious food, old friends, best friends, and new friends.  There was gymnastics outside the bar, public urination, trying to escape some bicycle cops because we were so loud, and everything that I had been missing for the past year and a half.  It was, as they say, a night to remember.

On the way home though, there was a part of the drive where my life flashed before my eyes, and all I could think was one thing, or one person.  My brain started thing how much I wanted that person to be with me at that moment in time.  How much I wanted that person to enjoy this life with me like they used to.

I know it’s not possible, because that’s life.  You can’t have everything you want – and right now the rest of my life is so great, I just have to live without this person.

But wouldn’t it be nice if that wasn’t the case?

    Good for you for having the amazing awareness and gratitude to be so present and appreciative! I’m usually in that place…five years after the fact.
