growing old.

Growing old is something most look at and want to run away from as soon as possible. I view it as an art, a thing of beauty. People don't appreciate what it takes to grow old. How lucky we are to have the ability to grow old. In a society where life is all about how much money and how successful you can be, am i naive in thinking life is about the years you spend holding on to those who you care the most about.

I don't want to live my life worrying about how time is flying by. I like holding on to every moment. Life doesn't have to be made of the moments you are most active. The sweetest moments are the ones where you truly feel comfortable sitting in silence with the ones you care about.

I've grown to realize that when you truly care for someone, there is no need to talk every moment. Being yourself isn't having to prove every action you take to be accepted, but to not have to say anything. It is being in a room with someone and not having to do anything. Sometimes it just feels good to hang out with someone and do whatever it is you would be doing on your own. Just being in the presence of the one you love shows you life is best at moments like these.

I dare you to find that person you go through this with. Maybe it's the person you never would have guessed. Stop holding on to past relationships and the could have beens and move on to what you have now. Right beside you. The people who you can be comfortable with forever.
