Better Days, Better Things

"I know there will be better things. That's kind of the best thing about being young... knowing all these things are on their way... these better things."-One Tree Hill

I was never a big fan of One Tree Hill since my local cable company decided to take the station away from us right as the show moved its way up the ratings ladder. Once in a while my college roommates would turn it on in the dorm, but frankly all I could focus on was how grown up Chuckie Lee from Disney Channel's The Torkelsons (anyone else remember that show?!) had become. For those of you who don't remember, he also played Minkus on Boy Meets World. Regardless, I came across this quote today and decided that I agree with it full-heartily.

Not a day goes by where I don't think of the future. What company will I be working for in two years? What city will I be living in? Will I be spending my time with someone special or just continue to have a solid group of great friends? How will I have changed? There are thousands of questions I could ask about the future, but why do I concern myself with these when I should just be living day to day? I am trying my best to plan for what I think the future holds, but maybe it is out of my hands. What I do know, is that better things are on the way. It may not be exactly what I think I want, but it will hopefully be better than what I am doing now.

Of course everyone has their problems. We all go through our fair share of trials and tribulations, but I think people need to put more faith into believing that when things go wrong, better things are on the way. One door closes, and another one opens. At 22, I have my entire life to live. Yes, that scares the hell out of me in more ways than one, but how can I sit here and not believe that my life can only get better? My life is just beginning and the best is yet to come.
