I found this quote today and it's a beautiful way of phrasing what I've been thinking a lot.
I'm sure everyone has things that they're looking forward to in the future. I have my birthday soon, my first concert, DofE etc. And then I'm also looking forward to uni and doing a career that I love and travelling the world. And I think it's good to have aspirations.
But then there's times, such as Mondays which are my most boring days, where I just wish the day would be over. Or I wake up on Monday morning and want it to be the weekend again. Or wake up on the first morning back to school after a holiday and calculate how many days there are until the next holiday.
I feel like I'm wishing my life away. It makes me realise that I need to enjoy the present as much as I'm excited for the future. I have a lovely family and have made so many amazing friends this year that I know are there for me and always make me laugh and get my humour. It's equally important to live for these moments.
I think that's also why it's a good thing to keep a diary. I can look back and enjoy the little moments that may slip my mind.
