Woke Up Like This

by Amy Lea

You can’t be the sun to all people without eventually burning out.

That’s the thing about the best days of your life. You don’t know they’re the best until they’re already gone,

That’s a truly depressing thought. If that’s true, what does it mean for someone like me who lives for crushing goals and milestones? Will I ever experience the true joy of achieving them in the moment? Or will the best part always be remembering those times after they’ve already passed?

In this moment, this is the youngest I’ll ever be. While I can’t control what will happen or who I’ll lose in my life, I know I can make the most of right now.

Don’t let future goals get in the way of enjoying present happiness.

Treasure the now forever, because in the blink of an eye, it’ll be gone.
