Hopeful

Alright, so I've decided it's high time I stop being pessimistic and remember the good things in life. And, by golly, there are a lot of them, not least of which the phrase, "By golly." I'm just saying.
But at any rate, I am feeling hopeful about the future. Yeah, maybe I don't really know where I'm going to end up going but I do know that I've found my motivation, my muse, and I have ambition, too. That last part is still getting up to speed but it's making it pretty even with the rest. Anyway, it's good, it really is.
Recently, I was given an opportunity to go to a faraway land (well, not as far as South Korea, but hey) and I almost took it. But then, I found myself uncertain and wary of the idea and finally decided against it. It occurs to me that life is not a rat race and that we aren't all just here to live and die, but rather to breathe and laugh.
I've spent so much time torn between all these different things I could be doing and places I could be going but, ultimately, none of it is as important as just enjoying life. So, that's my aim now.
I've only ever had the one regret and that is not getting published, never fully completing my writings, even if I've completed stories and on paper to boot. So, that's my motivation now. To live without regrets, I need to remedy the one I've always had. No matter how I go about it, it'll be done. And after that, I'll see where I am and where I go.
I'm happy, realizing that I don't have to race or run or anything of the sort. And I'm happy knowing that I have time to live. So, all in all, I'd say I'm feeling rather hopeful. Thank you for listening. haha =)
