Lately I've been thinking about opportunities and regret. Everyone always says "live in the now, live for today" yada yada. I wholeheartedly agree for the most part, but then again I also believe that we need to think about our futures. I don't want to look back and see wasted opportunities. I've had too much of that already from high school, I don't want college to be the same. I want to take advantage of all the opportunities I'm given and I want to acheive something great. I definitely don't want to live in the past. What has happened has happened, and I want to move on. I'm ready for something new in life, whether it be in the form of a new activity, someone new in my life, or anything. I just want that feeling of discovery and curiosity, that feeling when you are on the verge of being completely lost but the drive to discover something new overrides it. That excitement of something unlike anything else you've experienced and that nervous joy that runs all through your body, that makes your hands and feet jumpy with anticipation and your stomach flutter. That's what I want to experience. I feel so trapped right now in a lot of ways, but I also know that there are ways for me to escape, and I'm going to take them.
I really don't have any other deeper thoughts right now, so I'm going to leave the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, the one that inspired my tattoo.
Waiting for that feeling,

No Reins by Rascal Flatts
She left that loser in a dust cloud
Heart in his hand, chin on the ground
Cried her last tear for that clown
She can see a little clearer now
She said, "Oh, oh, I gotta go and find me"
Oh, oh she found the strength to break free
CHORUS
Like a painted wild mustang
Flyin' out across the open range
Finally gets to live her life that way
No fear, no fences, nobody-no reins
No reins
All she's ever felt is held back
She says, "It's kinda nice to hear myself laugh"
She's gonna do a lot more of that
She's makin' plans and makin' tracks
She said, "Oh, oh I gotta go and find me"
Oh, oh she found the strength to break free
Like a painted wild mustang
Flyin' out across the open range
Finally gets to live her life that way
No fear, no fences, nobody-no reins
Oh, oh she's learnin' how to let go
Oh, oh whichever way the wind blows
Oh, oh she's learnin' how to let go
Like a painted wild mustang
Flyin' out across the open range
Finally gets to live her life that way
No fear, no fences, nobody-no reins
Like a painted wild mustang
Flyin' out across the open range
Finally gets to live her life that way
No fear, no fences, nobody-no reins
No reins
