Life is nothing more than one big joke or at least it is what I believe it should be. Most people spend their entire life in one big damn hurry from one goal point to the next. However, when most people are planning what they want their life to be like life is happening all around them. I once found myself in the same sort of mentality in my freshman year of high school and not realizing what was truly important to me. I was on what many would call the track to success swamping myself with too many advanced courses, and being a two sport athlete. What I didn’t realize is that everything I would learn is important was passing me by as I was too busy. Someone once told me that I shouldn’t take life so serious because none of us were going to get out alive in the end anyways. That is something I believe has merit because in the end the big number in your bank account isn’t worth much when your under six feet of earth. Life should be viewed as a playground full of experience an opportunity not one big contest. I believe a lot of people are living their life with the mentality to survive, and not to actually live. Considering that we will all have the same punctual end in this story my life isn’t something I would want to waste chasing around a big house or little green rectangular pieces of paper. The way I see it is that all roads take you to the same place it’s just a matter of how many turns you want to take. The world is one big sandbox all you’ve got to do is get out there and dig it. I personally don’t want to be the old sour man who yells at the neighborhood kids just because I realized that my days of youth and chance had passed me by. Life in the grand gesture is going to be all of what you make, and knowing there’s no mulligans I’m aiming for the cup.
