Almosts.

So I began documenting each of my days this year as a New Years resolution. In this hyper-electronic world, we can't document enough. From apps, to tweets, to pictures, to status updates, we have to not only inform the world of the mundane details of our lives, but be able to look back and see where we have come from, where we are, and where we are going. History always repeats itself. I created this so that I could record every interaction. Everything that means anything-- because sometimes, it's easy to lose track of what's really happened, and what I've imagined. But we have to see that right this moment, we are creating our next moments. This is what's real. We are only the sum of all these moments and we may as well have it documented to guide us through this carousel of life. 

Which leads me to this...this blog that I've created. What does it mean? Sometimes forever and almost always...it's the premise that things are transient. And the ideas of "forever" and "always" take away from your ability to live in the now...something I've always struggled with. But at a certain point, we have to do as The Gambler says, and know when to hold or fold 'em. Why waste your time on things or people that wont ever care enough to do the same for you? There are no safe investments in life. But we invest anyway, because heartbreak, like most things, is transient; but regret is eternal. And even when things aren't about a love, if it means anything to you, its still a matter of the heart. What is forever? What is always? Neither of them can be true for everything, always. So we have to learn to laugh at the planning process of life and accept that our forevers and always' don't always mean just that. Things, people, relationships, jobs, dreams...all of them can be forever...sometimes. And almost always, it's that tiny glimmer of hope found in that word "sometimes", that keeps us hanging on. We make our lives out of that chaotic hope. 

Remember--there are a lot of good almosts out there. But almost isn't good enough. ❤
