Today...

I feel like the more I am in search for something-- the more it alludes me..

For example, I was one of those little girls who believed in the fairytale prince coming to swoop me off my feet and we run off into the sunset, happily ever after...

As I grew older, though, I knew that the scenario wasn't true.. but there was a tiny little part of me that wished it was.

Well after so many years of broken promises, dashed hopes, and unfulfilled dreams-- I still held on to "Someday"

But that was the problem... I was always focused on what should be or what might be and not on what is going on right Now.

A good quote by Groucho Marx kinda sums it up:

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."

If it is meant to be it is meant to be--if it isn't then so be it.
