It's A Terrible Thing To Waste
I'm really pretty upset with myself right now.
I woke up from an extremely deep sleep this morning--or I guess I should say afternoon because it was 1:35 PM. I couldn't believe it. The day was already halfway over and I was just rolling my lazy self from the enticing entanglement of my cozy sheets. "Oh well, it's not like I had anything better to do today," I thought, as I brushed it off and joined the rest of my family downstairs.
Later, I got on my laptop to check my facebook for messages. I happened to notice that one of my friends had posted new photos of a trip her and her friend went on to Las Vegas. I was so jealous--honestly, I'm STILL jealous! Here I am spending my winter break in Boringtown Kansas sleeping all day and checking facebook while she's out having the time of her life on the Vegas strip.
50 years from now, I wanna look back on my life and say "I really lived my life!" not "I wish I would traveled the world and enjoyed my life while I was still young but now I'm an old geezer and I'm lucky if I can make it to the Civic Center for Bingo Night..."
Anyways, the way I see it, life is a precious and temporary gift. Even though I'm only 17, who's to say I won't die tomorrow and miss out on all the beautiful and exciting experiences life has to offer. I'm not going to let life slip through my hands anymore.
Time is the most valuable thing in this world. Once you spend it. It's gone.
