Ode to Being Carefree

Back in my early 20’s I would jump in the car all the time and just drive … drive with no final destination but to clear my mind.  I didn’t realize how much I missed doing that until this weekend.  

This past weekend I had the chance to be on the road for about 6 hours … 6 hours of just me listening to music and thinking.  One thing that I kept pondering is how I miss the younger me.  It seems, somehow along the way, I’ve gotten too serious … too cynical … and way too guarded.  Music became a job and not a passion.  I’d given up on dreams and I’d given up on love.

So, I made a pact with myself this weekend … life is too short. I may be getting older, but that doesn’t mean I have to be older.  That doesn’t mean that I put away responsiblities … it just means that I’m going to enjoy everything that God has given me … it means I WILL take chances again … put myself out there and not be afraid!

I’m going to LIVE, LEARN, and LOVE!  Oh … and DRIVE!
