Enjoying Life's Simple Pleasures

Looking through the wine glass, everything seems a little hazy. Lately, my grandma has been in hospital and been talking about going to heaven. Well, she's been talking about that for what now seems forever. Anyways, I put on some Five for Fighting and "100 Years" and it really got me thinking about life in general. What would i tell myself if i could go back in time? What simple little phrases could i say to direct a naive young man to make the right decisions. What would you tell yourself??? Maybe I've had too much wine tonight, but the directions life takes us has been on my mind for awhile. I'll admit that it's easier to hide from all life's problems. To get into the habit of enjoying the easy way out, but will that make us happy in the long run.

Relationships, thats another subject on my mind. Why do we have to believe that in order to find true happiness we must find it another individual?? I won't deny that I've loved someone more than myself, and thats what a relationship must consist of, but to think that you can't be happy if that person isn't there in your life? That's just silly. But, then again I've had too much wine.

The main point I guess I'm trying to present is that I hope you really look at the motives behind your actions. To acknowledge what our true intentions are, whether or not we want to admit them. Like if you're staying at a job because it pays the bills, but it isn't what you want to do for the rest of your life. Or if you're staying in a relationship because you've been in it for awhile or the other person keeps you in it. For me, I've lived life not admitting why I was doing what I was doing it. To now finally see that in order to find peace in my actions that I must evaluate what my motives are. To see women at their true beauty, not just if they're hot or not. To look at my occupational choices at whether I want like doing them or if its just paying the bills. To be an example to those around me as a true man or if I'm just giving into the pressures of being liked and sacrificing my morals. With all that said, i'm going to bed. Good night! Oh, by chance, if Sara Bareilles is reading this, Will you marry me??
