Carpe Diem
Tuesday was tough, had a 3 year old cancer patient come to my store with his dad & it was so sad. The image of seeing him standin there hands behind his back, very serious, barely smiling really stuck with me… Idk just really gave me something to think bout… Life isn’t about all the things that could go wrong, it’s about the little things that make you smile or laugh or both. It’s about the little things in life that make you happy. Cherish them, cherish life and all the years you’ve seen but also ask yourself this… have you REALLY been living? Think about it, seriously think about it. Through ALL the good AND bad, have you been striving to live the best way possible? Have you been taking advantage of the years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds you’ve lived through? I’ll be honest, I haven’t been and looking at that little man standing infront of me made me realize it. He wasn’t like most of the 3 year olds I usually see. They’re hyper, very active, and full of question. He was very quiet, serious, with hands behind his back as if he wasn’t standing in a store that should feel like a dream to him. A store that has every toy a kid could ever want. Him being so serious at such a young age made me see we should all take advantage of the happy things in life. So what I’m really trying to say is sieze the day, make the most of what you have, don’t dwell on the things that go wrong but cherish the moments, big or small, that make you happy, laugh, smile, or bring you joy… cherish them…
carpe diem
