I remember traveling to Rome, and I couldn't help myself but snap a quick picture of this old man walking. (I hope he didn't notice it.) I saw him, and I thought to myself, one day I will be old and then die. The thought of dying or death in general always scared me. And I never truly knew why, until I searched deep within myself for an answer. And the answer is, I want so much from life that I'm scared I won't get it all within my lifespan.
Which is why I believe life is a precious gift. It is also why I try to live my life each day, as if it were my last. I try not to do anything I'll regret, and I try to do anything I want, just so I won't regret not doing anything later on. However, it's not about how I see life, but the real question is, what do I want out of my life. To be honest, I want a lot of things out of life. But the most important thing I wish to gain from life, is the sense of fulfillment. What I mean by that, is when I'm on my deathbed, I'll be able to die happy. I want to be successful and happy throughout my life. I want to live my life not in vain, or to be filled with regrets. I'm pretty sure everyone, or at least someone other than me, also feels the same. And I believe I deserve to gain that sense of fulfillment from life, if I live it right. By right I mean, studying hard and live a life my mom can be proud of. That I can be proud of.
Although I’m just seventeen, I have so many plans for myself. It's just so I can get the most out of life. And now I’m just living life one step at a time, reaching for that sense of fulfillment at the end of my journey.
Love the layout of your blog! And this picture. Looking forward to reading more!

DeleteI can definitely appreciate this outlook on life, simply being human makes the thought of death scary and uncomfortable. With this world of wonder, it is easy to long to experience as much as possible and truly take in all the world has to offer. Personal goals also play a big role in what makes life so interesting and fulfilling. Great idea to include the picture.
