brighter days

Lake Tekapo with Mt Cook in the background

Days are getting brighter, however winter still feels like it is with us here in Tokyo. I liked this photo as I feel brightness from it and feel that is where my life is at this moment. Wide open with lots of potential for things to come into my life and to try out anything I desire. The beautiful torqoise of Lake Tekapo always makes me feel slightly homesick for those high country lakes and wildness that surrounds it. I know that they are always there though, like they have been around for thousands of years. Humans, however, are only alive by how one thinks and how we approach life. Some people judge this by their age, others by experience and moments. Me, well, I think the age can be a type of gauge, that can motivate us, but also can restrain us since we feel that we shouldn't act like that or think like that due to "our age".

Life is what you make it and no matter how much you think about it and have it in your head, and you think you have figured it out, you will really not know what the other person is thinking and how the situation will really turn out. Therefore, seek the moment that lies beyond and challenge something that you have always wanted to do or desire. Your life is your own, no matter what they say, or how you may feel that it isn't, at the end of the day, only you can control your own life.

Do what you want

and the rest will follow...
