Today I Lived

841.

Today, I started to live. I started to realize that life is beautiful, and that all these quotes make sense. All the “take risks, have no regrets, smile, live in the present” cliches and quotes are real. It will take me awhile to listen to them, and to actually use them in my life. But i will try, and as cliche as that sounds it will all work for the best.

And the reason I have come to this conclusion, is because I have finally overcome something great. Something that will probably not be the most important thing in my life, but definately one of the more memorable. And here it is.

I have moved countries, started a new school a grade behind, become a “kid with divorced parents”, left my best friends, and have had to break up with my boyfriend/best friend because I had to move.

And through all of these problems I am dealing with, the hardest is the boy. But isn’t it always? Nothing else matters but “the boy”. But “the love”. But “the one who you fell hardest for”.

I say to myself “I am done with him”, but I know that isn’t true because I go on facebook and check his profile and get sad at the sad love songs and feel down whenever I see couples.

But then again, lately I have looked back at him and seen him as a great experience with wonderful memories, and if we were ever to see each other again it would be amazing. Because before he was my boyfriend, he was a friend. And friends are amazing.

So here are my rules: to not regret, to not forget, to move on with life, and to smile.

Today, I begin my new life.
