Creating my destiny

For so long I feel like I've put things off. I've always said, "I'd like to do that some day." or "I'd like to do that when I'm older."  And recently I feel like I've woken up and found that I actually AM older and now is the time to do ALL the things I've been wanting to do.  I don't want to put life off anymore.  It's time to start living it.  Time to start experiencing my world.

It is mine to explore.  Mine to create.  My dreams CAN come true.  Every day.
