Right here, right now.

If you never really predict what's going to happen, and keep yourself ready for whatever, life is a pleasant roller coaster. My father said this to me before I went on stage for my speech for an elocution competition in 9th grade. I was nervous and I kept saying stuff like "What if I fumble while speaking" etc etc. After my dad said that to me, I stopped thinking about how it's going to go! I just kept rehearsing. It turned out that I actually did fumble, but I managed to rock my speech over all and left the stage to applause! If I would've thought a lot, I would have left the stage believing that my worst nightmare just became a reality! Without even taking the applause into consideration. That's how much I was scared of fumbling! But in fact I quite enjoyed the feeling of connecting with so many people at once. (:

I overthink at times, everyone does. We think too much about the future sometimes, but actually half of our lives are just in our heads. Which is quite ridiculous but true, so I'm working on just being in the now. It takes so much weight off my shoulders! You must give it a shot :)

 I have been trying not to expect anything from life. Like, even if I throw a ball, I don't want to expect it to fall because of gravity (exaggeration). It's just something I've learnt through the past, to not think about the future at all. Just living in the moment. But hey, this is completely different from future planning and setting goals. Life needs a direction, after all :)
