life

is short. as i sit and watch gilmore girls before i have lunch and get ready for my day (which includes picking up my cap and gown, getting a large strawberry limeade and tater tots from sonic, leadership team meeting, work, and another meeting), i was thinking about life and realized that it is short.

not necessarily short as in too few days (though it could be), but short as in it goes by so stinking fast. i mean, i don't feel like i should be graduating college already, and for some crazy reason i am. and i was thinking about how sometimes life just passes you by. and i think in some ways i've let life pass me by. i've hid behind my fear. i've allowed circumstances to get the best of me. in some ways, i've taken huge chances...but in others, especially a few that really do matter, i've backed away and let fear get the best of me. now, i don't know that my life would be any different had i stepped up to the challenge and been a little more...honest. in truth--probably not. but, the thing is, is that sometimes you really do just have to channel john mayer and "say what you need to say." even if it scares the crap out of you.
