Forever Young

"Let us die young or let us live forever.
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true "

What does it mean to be young forever? To me it's the bliss of total freedom and detachment of all the stress and angst that comes with age. It means shutting your eyes and floating on the banks of emotion and hope. Walking as if all your questions are answered and you don't have a care in the world; when really none of them are, but you just can't find the will to care. It's forgetting to hesitate and instead leaping into life and gliding through the course you land upon. It's loving with all the wild passion you can muster and believing it is all you need to get by. It means destroying all restraints and doing what we we were essentially created to do, live.

I can't say I was able to let myself fully live during this year. Like I've said before my biggest flaws are my sentimentality and my imagination. I can never turn them off, therefore I'm always cherishing the memories of the past and fantasizing about the future instead of enjoying the present. Yet, as the time winds down to my last few weeks in Korea, I find myself appreciating the life I had out here. There is so much to be thankful for, I should of never allowed myself to be so miserable. I met some of the most amazing people, and although our time here was so short I'm happy to call them friends. They provided the warmest laughs and fondest memories in my life thus far. They showed me what it truly means to live life, to love and just feel alive.

I used to wreck my brain trying to find the answers that would piece my little life together, when all I needed to do was just live. Everything is in place, everything has always been in place, and now I'm falling into it.
