Laughing, Loving, and Living

An infamous motto I like to think that I live by but in all reality forget all about as a whole every now and then. Life is so full of opportunities to love or to hate, to forgive or to hold onto, to laugh or to be angry, and no matter what you choose to be at that moment in time, it all seems to work out one way or another in the end. Why do I tend to waste so much time on doing the latter? Over the last week, I have taken time to set all of those negative emotions aside and befriending those that I normally wouldn't, forgiving [and forgetting] things I habitually hang on to, laughing with those that I truly love deeply no matter how much different than they are from me. I've found a deep common ground by opening up and letting in, it makes me at peace with everything in life. I wanted to share some unforgettable memories that I had the other day on our whim of an outing when we decided to take a last minute road trip to Bend. There was a whole lot of laughing, loving, and living on this trip and I am so excited to take more... Ashley and Lynne, Thank you for being a big part of my life and the so far successul journey to becoming a better person. You mean to me more than you know.
