"man i miss those songs we used to sing,
talking like getting away would be the greatest thing"

I was walking to my car today after class and an older woman popped up out of nowhere and said, "I wish I was a bird, I could just fly everywhere." She continued on explaining that when she was younger she didn't even notice how far she was walking, she was just walking. Now that she's older it's such a job to even walk to her car. While I agreed with her that it's a pain walking through parking ramps, she made me realize something, something most already know but don't really comprehend like we should. I need to take advantage of my youth, not even in simply a physical way, but in my attitude overall. I need to realize that this is time for mistakes because that's how we learn, I need to make smart decisions but not hold back because I'm too afraid of an unexpected outcome. I just need to know that I have so much ahead of me and eventually the insignificant stressors and tiny panic-attacks I induce today will become a speck in the span of my lifetime.
