"Don't be afraid to die...be afraid of the unlived life."
from "Tuck Everlasting."
I get it. Live life to it's fullest...live out loud. We only have one chance at this life. I truly grasp the idea.
My question is, how? How can you freely do all you want to do, grab life by the horns and live when you have so many other responsibilities? I can't just quit my job, travel the world, save the world, make a difference in a large way.
Does it have to be this dramatic, or is it living through the little things? And, should we just be content with that? What if I want to live in a bigger way than I currently am? Like BIG! Not just going through the motions....staying up too late, contemplating deep thoughts on a stupid blog, get up late, rush to work while putting my make-up on in the car, make sure someone picks CJ up from school, go home exhausted and lay on my couch and look foward to a jam-packed weekend, just to be extremely exhausted and do it all again.
Is this living? Am I meant for more?
Dang Hollywood movies!
