Caught Up in the Moment

Ever just get caught up in the moment? As in, ya know, caught up with drama.. work... relationships.. LIFE?! Yeah, me too. It's hard isn't it? Life itself especially.

Thinking back as a 7th or an 8th grader, I thought to myself, "I can't wait for high school". Having those nerves, you know.. the feeling of uncertainty on how things are going to go or how things are going to change in that next step in life. What about, "Oh, I can't wait to go to college". Those same nerves came back, right? Thinking "things are going to get harder", or "how am I going to know how to do this?", or even "what is the next step going to look like?”

We get distracted and sidetracked sometimes, it’s inevitable. Getting sidetracked by something that you’ll forget about in a a few years. Damn, even in a few days.

Being overwhelmed... yeah that happens a lot for me. You get caught up in the moment when really it’s going to resolve itself. That is me with finances. It’s hard. Overwhelming actually is the perfect word.

Here I am, 23 and living a 23 year olds life. Life just happens. You learn things without even knowing you're learning them. It's adaptability. Things end up working out somehow. It's your decision to grow up it's not you're decision to get older. Adding age unfortunately adds responsibilities. Responsibilities aren’t always the most fun .. in the moment... but it’s hard to look past that. As in the overall picture, in the end.

The point is living in the moment is cool and all, but you can't forget about the bigger picture. Yes, live in the moment. But getting caught up IN the moment doesn’t allow you to see any further than what’s right in front of you.

For YOU.

It’s crazy to think about how one month can turn in the two months, and two months can turn the three months, and the next thing you know half a year goes by, and the next thing you know it’s a year later... Thinking about where I was a year ago compared to where I am now...every time I predict or have a small invasion of what my future may look like, it turns out to be nothing like I expected it to look like but it’s not always a bad thing... And honestly the favorite things about my life right now are the ones that caught me by surprise because I didn’t see it coming... I’m just kind of at this point in my life where I tend to just go with the flow, ya know riding the wave of life, letting life take the stirring wheel... But let me tell you, I’m a huge sign person... I mean HUGE. For example, every time I think of quitting my job and wanting to start something different, something happens whether it’s a promotion or some sort of light at the end of the tunnel that makes me stay.

Pals That Blog

The Jess & Lyss friendship goes WAY back to our college degenerate days. We both joined the same sorority our sophomore year of college, had the same major, and of course jammed out to the same music. We became closer, made the wildest of memories, and eventually had Jess & Lyss therapy sessions together. We live very similar lifestyles but at the same time, we have VERY different experiences that have shaped us into who we are today. These experiences have brought us closer together to form a friendship neither of us would replace. This blog was originally a one man show. By adding another blogger, we aspire to reach a larger audience as our ultimate goal is to motivate others. Live On is now reconstructed to share our stories, our DIFFERENT stories, that we hope one day someone can benefit from. To let someone know that they are not alone. To encourage others to keep on going. To maybe even save a life. This world is full of obstacles... challenges... but hey, we're in it
