change.

hm absent much?

i have been absent. in maybe more ways than one, and although many things have been going on, and many updates to document and give, there has been an idea on my mind. and that idea is this:

opportunity is all around us. everyday there is opportunity... to grow, experience, change, love. the fact that there is opportunity to change is the most profound, or so i so humbly think. humans are creatures of habit. for whatever reason, we are sometimes most comfortable when we are in our Routine. and you know what im talking about, we all have a Routine. whether its the people we hang out with, the jobs we have or the things we do in our spare time, our routines have come to define our lives. and because of this we often forget and maybe even fear the opportunity we have to change. this opportunity? well its a gift, and a gift that often goes overlooked, taken for granted, lost in all the sameness we so desire...the sameness we all seemingly thrive off of.

well i have a challenge for you. for me. for us all.

take advantage of that opportunity for change.

embrace the unknown.

dare to do something different.

revel in the adrenaline a new adventure brings.

don't be scared of the what ifs

be scared of the what could have beens.

live the life you've been given

and live it to the fullest.

lord knows this is definitely something i struggle with, but it is also something i have been more conscious about in the past couple of months.

i think my biggest fear is regret.

and i've come to realize the best way to minimize that fear, is to live vivaciously and with purpose...recognizing those opportunities to grow, experience, change and love, and seizing them.

ah and a picture from my weekend...does this mean my childhood is officially over?

ok soo opportunity for change is great, yes, but somethings should never, ever, change.

things like dressing up for harry potter premiers {esp, if its the last one}

hope this finds you in happiness, health and love! xoxo
