Life passes us by two fast and that’s the problem, were always too caught up on what we’re going to do next or tomorrow that we forget about today. Who cares what you’re doing later, you’re living in the present. It’s one of the best things, being able to live in the moment and not having any worries, but it’s something everyone forgets to do. Can you remember the last time you just forget about everything and just had fun? With school, work, monologues, papers, midterms, finals there’s no time to just forget and live. The last time I just forgot and had a good time was probably prom or my birthday, both nights spent with people I won’t forget and gave me memories that are worth so much to me.
You might say oh I go out every weekend and live in the moment…No I don’t mean getting drunk and not remembering your night. I mean going out and making memories with those closest to you that you’re going to look back on years from now and be like “What a great night” or sit around and laugh about it with those you’ve made the memories with. Some memories you may not wish to reminisce on but you must never forget even bad memories have meaning or lessons that you will one day look back on and realize that you were glad you took time to make them. The next time you have the chance to just let go and forget about thinking what am I doing next or tomorrow, just live in the moment weather it’s for 20 minutes or a whole night. I promise it’s something you won’t regret. 50 years down the road I hope to be sitting with my friends and knowing I lived the life I wanted to and didn’t let life pass me by. Don’t you want that? I’ve lost people close to me but there’s one thing that will always stay with me, the memories we made together won’t ever fade. That’s one thing everyone should know, tomorrow is never guaranteed so make the most of today and worry about tomorrow….tomorrow.
Good monologue! I have to say I agree with you a lot on this point. I used to worry and worry about tomorrow and way into the future but I realized that it was not necessary because it just made me anxious and simply not happy. Since then, I tried to give more time to myself to just enjoy life. I must say it turned out spectacular because with a better mood, school is actually much more enjoyable and I’m doing better in school than before. That is very good advice for people; it helps lifts peoples’ burdens and makes them happier.
