Live life for the feelings

Not for the stuff that comes with it.

The feelings when you are doing what genuinely makes you happy.

The feelings when you realize that you are alive and living an incredible life.

The feelings when truly know that you’re doing the right thing.

Life goes so so fast. In a blink a year has passed. You don’t realize how quick a day is. You stay focused on tomorrow, weekend and holidays. You think about what you could do next.

But you don’t stay in the right moment. The present. This is where the magic happens, where you’re in control, where you breathe and act!

The feelings you have, you can’t ignore them. They follow you, track you, bully you and make you pass through so many emotions. Some of them are the best, some of them are the worst.

But the feelings will always be with you. Don’t ignore them, act for them, let them have a positive impact on you.

You are your feelings, you control them but most of the time you don’t control them well. You think they control you and don’t fight to didacte to your heart which feelings are the ones you desire to have.

Live life for the feelings, not for the stuff that comes with it.

Don’t do what doesn’t inspire you. Don’t push yourself toward a direction that you don’t believe in.

Of course, you can’t have the ups without the downs. The same way you can’t truly be happy without knowing how cruel sadness is.

But there’s a difference between fighting for what you love and forcing yourself to live something that doesn’t make you happy.

Don’t wait to be old enough to understand it. Don’t wait the last minute of your life to understand how important your feelings are.

Follow what talks to you, what makes you smile and feel good. Because at the end of the day, no material good will allow you to feel the true feelings that your heart wants and loves desperately.

Live for the feelings you will have and experience.

A picture in itself doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a moment among so many others. But when you add a story, a feeling, a memory with it, the picture isn’t a picture anymore. It is something special that can make you cry and smile at the same time.

Life is something so ephemeral and beautiful.

Don’t waste it on things that don’t resonate with the person you are. Fully live it and experience all the feelings it allows you to feel.

Because at the end of the day, the only thing that is going to stay with you are your own feelings.
