Vivre dans l'instant

Yes. Live for the moment. Seize the day. Carpe diem. 抓住今日. Regardless of how you say it, it is truly the ideal way in which we should live our lives. Who knows what tomorrow may bring? Recently it feels as if I have been blessed with an abundance of goodness in my life. Yes. My job as an analyst is boring but it's a job nonetheless. My family is healthy both physically and mentally. Even though this year has been the toughest in terms of the restaurant's 20 year history, my parents have been able to offset the loss of income at the business with catering and property ownership. Friends have always been at my beck and call (just kidding hahaa). I have a roof over my head and food on the table. And of course... I have you <3.

This comfortable living situation at home won't always be there for my enjoyment. I need to appreciate the fact that my parents are willing to let me live at home while paying only a minimal amount each month for what they deem as "rent money". In fact, I know that this is just another way to help me save my money. It works too. Out of sight out of mind, right? If I don't physically have the money to spend then I end up forgetting I ever had it in the first place. A little redundant but true. In addition to letting me live at home, my parents rarely question where I go if and when I do go out. They never expect me home by a certain time either... "As long as I stay safe," they say. I'm a grown boy after all =)
