I’m twenty… And I’m kinda waiting for my life to begin. I’ve had this notion that maybe I would have accomplished something by now, but… I haven’t. Or so I thought.
What brought about this mood, you ask? I was watching kasi the Oscars the other day. Seeing all those beautiful people, in that huge place… The realization of these people’s work being recognized with the whole world watching… All that came to mind was… I want that. I want that moment. A moment of greatness.
I thought about my life, what I’ve made of it so far and sighed. From a normal point of view, it really isn’t much… I study… I sing sometimes… It’s not all that exciting. But you know what? I’m happy. I’ve stopped looking at my life with condescending eyes. What I have is awesome and, unbeknownst to most, I have moments of greatness of my own. Little things like, catching a comfortable bus on the ride to school… Seeing people that I’ve helped do far better than I could ever have… A friendship restored… A person touched through Friday Nights… A smile… An encouragement… Nothing big. Just moments. Moments that make up my life. I sat there thinking, huh? What could possibly be so great about that? And I realized, it isn’t the moment itself that’s great. It’s the person behind it that is. I have someone great behind these moments. Someone who makes all of it happen. Someone who sees me and loves me. Someone who will never give up on me no matter what. Someone who has made me for greatness. It’s not because of me. All this was never to make my name great for my own sake. It’s for His. So… I will continue to live my small but great life. With the incredible knowledge that there is so much more to come. And nothing can mess that up.
