My mother told me today to monitor what I blog because some of my posts could be more productively exaggerated into college essays. And although I understand where she was coming from, her suggestion really upset me. This blog is what I am doing right now. College essays, although they will become important soon, are not a part of THIS moment. I will have things to write about and will write about them but not now, not at 11:38 on August 13. Why can I not enjoy what is in the present instead of thinking of what could be in the future?
It's true, in life, there are always great things to look forward to. However, the path you are walking right now is undeniably filled with flowers if you take the time to notice them. If you are always looking for your next turn, the next exit, the next rest stop, you may miss the avenue on which you belong. So lift your head from the map for a while and enjoy the road on which you're traveling.
Because, anyway, all roads lead to the future.
