The Power of Now

I'm starting to really appreciate real life.

It's incredibly refreshing to think of the fact that I can do pretty much anything I want to do. FOr instance, there's a post on tumblr that says something along the lines of "I just want to walk across a field in slow-motion to the pentatonix remix of Imagine Dragons' Radioactive". And it's amazing to think that I can grab my best friend and a camera, and we can find a field and do that. (Tee, it's totally happening.)

I can do all the weird stuff they do in movies. I can get hella wasted at some party in university and suffer the consequences with a wicked hangover the next morning, wondering if my stupidity was worth it.

I can come up with an idea and write a novel, even if it never gets published. I could team up with somebody and write a webcomic or even a comic book.

I could learn to sew. I could cosplay a million things and recreate movie scenes in silly little videos. (This is honestly half the reason I started my YouTube channel.)

I could pack everything up and go see the world on a whim. I could move back home and learn a profession. I could move to a different country where I barely know the language and struggle to communicate let alone make a living.

Life is real, man.

And that's amazing.
