Courting Life

All things are fun and exciting in the getting to know stage of things. When you're still curious and everything is new. You are amazed by even the smallest things and nothing is yet enough or often enough to irritate you yet. I call it the false beauty. Why? Cause it's easy to over look the imperfections of things when you are in this stage. You gloss over annoying moments and events. After watching 'We are Family' a Bollywood movie I came to feel more appreciation for being content with the moments one is given. Being so lost in what isn't there is a common mistake everyone makes at some stage of their life. Being able to be content with what you are afforded in life isn't always easy. A mother who after a fresh divorce with a husband she still loves but understands won't work discovers she has pelvic cancer after meeting the husbands new love. She then embarks on her struggle with her impending loss of life while welcoming even beginning the process of this woman replacing her in what was once her family. Why wait til you are near death or what ever you are waiting for, when this is a moment. Just like any other moment that you will experience in life. The thing is moments are priceless and should be enjoyed cause you can't recreate them or get them back. So don't forget to be willing to get caught in the hype even if it seems foolish. Just remember to be responsible cause the real truth is what happens in Vegas doesn't stay there it stays in your memories. Don't put things in your memory you don't want to relive over and over, cause that's what you do when you get old.
