Moments

You know the times that you don't really know how to take in everything. The moments when everything in your life finally makes sense. The moment in your life when you finally know what you are going to do for the rest of your life. The moment when you know that you are loved for who you are. The moment when you finally feel like you are accepted for being you. The moment when you're happy but you aren't really sure why. The moment when you feel like you can do anything in the entire world. The moments that take your breath away without you knowing it. The moment when you just know why you are on Earth. The moment that chooses the rest of your life, when you ride a bike, when you fall in love, when you live on your own, when you get sad, depressed, happy, exuberant, outgoing, like you are floating away and never going to hit the ground again. The moment when you find life purpose, when you finally find yourself.
These moments come with a price. Some are fairly simple and don't require much of you. Others take a toll on your life and ultimately change you for better or for worse. Some people will never experience these things for some reasons untold. I ask myself why I am lucky enough to feel like this. Why am I lucky enough to have all this? I don't fully understand how lucky I am, all I know is that I am very fortunate to be who I am. Sometimes I wish I could help my friends when they need me but I don't always have the answers they want to hear. I just know that sometimes things do get bad and things may stay that way. But it all depends on how courageous you feel to build up the strength to finally take a stand for yourself. Once you do you can finally take a deep breath, and your first steps of a new life.
