Life without livng it, is worse than death.

Recently, I have felt as if my life travels at the speed of light. Things happen to fast, that I don't have time to sit down and analyze each one. In the last month I traveled to California and Ithaca both trips were career oriented. last week I had two interviews for prestigious internships. Similarly, during this month I met many important people whom are helping me to accomplish future goals. Finally, I have my girlfriend who I think I love.

Many big and important events are taking place. However, I am not happy. I see them come and receive them, but I fail to appreciate their value. Is as if they are supposed to come. When the truth is that I am really working hard to get them. While listening to Tim McGraw's song, I realized that he is right, when he says, "live like we were dying." I've been paying too much attention to the big picture, and failed to value the smaller things in live that have led me to where I am now.
