The first day of the rest of my life

Most days, nothing special happens, and I just have to get through the day, just like everyone else on this planet. But sometimes, just every once in a while, something happens, which makes me a believer. In God, in a higher power, in destiny, all of that you usually just read about in books. It gives me faith I am here for a reason and that there’s more to life than just simple existence. 

Many people, they grow up, they do what is expected of them and then they die. But have they actually lived? What does it mean to feel alive? 

Today I watched some game show on tv and everyone at the desk, when asked what they will do with a hundred grant, says they want to travel. They all want to see the world. Apparently that’s everyone’s dream. Isn’t that crazy? Of all the things you can think of. That’s it.

I have been the world over many times, so in a way I am already rich, right? The sun is shining, the world is frozen, today is the first day of the rest of my life. I can’t wait for a house, a job or my Leonardo, so I can finally start living. 

I don’t know what will happen between now and the end of summer, but hey, does one ever know in advance what will happen in life? Good or bad? Maybe Lister will find me a house of my own, or a job opening will present itself, maybe I’ll find my Leonardo. But if not, it’s also okay. Because my story will be finished and I can start living the rest of my life.
