One day while packing up to leave work I sent myself an email for the next days jobs that reminded me to stay focused... it said something like "the party is right here in your chair so live it!"
When I was a small kid, I remember my siblings would come home from college, they would stay up late into the night talking and as the youngster that I was it didn't seem fair to me that they got to stay up and "party" while I had to sleep. So I'd leave my bed and go hang out until they'd send me back to bed in 10 seconds flat. Then I'd whine about how "come you get to stay up late and have all the fun?" they would say when your older you can stay up with us and we'll have lots of fun, but go to bed now so we can have fun tomorrow. I'd go to bed mad because I wanted to stay up too! Seems like I'm still that small kid. I can wait to be or have something somebody else has, or I can't wait to be just passed the bend in the road. But you know what? As grown ups we look at kids and say they don't know how good they got it! Enjoy your childhood. So. VickiH, I know I'm talking to myself here and you're going to fail at this but just try for your future self to enjoy being 26. Enjoy working in the office and feeling like you have no money and no life. You got it good. Stop daydreaming about the future or even what you'll do later this day or tomorrow. The party is happening right here... right now. Welcome to the party! Welcome to your life. Party and live it up. Precious, precious moments you'll never get back.
