We're told over and over that life is a journey.
It's meant to be reassuring, to remind us that where we are now isn't the only place we'll be, that we grow and change and experience different things through our lives.
Lately, I've done some thinking, and I've decided that I believe something different.
Life is not just a Point A to Point B.
Life is not just a treasure map with a grand prize at the end.
Life is not just a certain unknown number of years.
Life is all around us.
Life is the moment you get inside after a long trek through the cold.
Life is the moment you spill chocolate milk all down your white shirt.
Life is the moment you realize your abs are sore from laughing so hard yesterday.
Life is the moment you find out your grandpa died and you feel a piece break away from your soul.
Life is the moment you see your baby brother graduate from high school.
Life is moments.
Life is now.
We can't plan out life the way we can a roadtrip.
Life is full of moments we don't choose, moments we don't see coming. Some of those are good moments, and some are bad.
But whatever life is at this moment, make the decision to accept it, to move through it with confidence.
To live it.
So live your life.
Every moment of it.
