A/N: Hey guys! Sorry this update is so late! I wasn't able to write anything until I finally got into the zone at like two in the morning :P Anyway, here's a question to all of you, hope you enjoy!
What do you live for?
The next concert? Party? Game? Or maybe, ice cream with friends? Bowling with your sister? Release of that new album?
Do you live for the next big event, a birthday, a trip?
Or do you live for when the deadline is finally going to be met, the week to be over, the moment you hit the bed?
Do you live for the moments that aren't where you are now?

She used to live for getting to the camp. The alleged camp that would give her a home. It wasn't much but she held on to it.
He used to live for when his stepfather would leave, the day he walked out and never came back. It didn't seem likely, but he hoped.
They used to live for when the future would be brighter.
Then, she started living for a chance at something new, something exciting, something like a quest.
Then, he started living for a chance to finally fit in, and maybe help those he cared about.
Then, they started living for the next adventure they'd get to have.
-.-.-
But what happens to the days in the middle. The in between of waiting for the next thing. What about all that time in your life? What about the days spent getting to where you want to go.
What if you lived for them?
-.-.-
Now, she lives for the sun in the morning and a warm cup of tea at night.
Now, he lives for the soft blankets on a day in and cookies at midnight.
They still hope and work for better, they still get excited over the things to come.
But now they live for the simple pleasures, a hug, a smile, a kiss, the touch of something smooth, the smell of something delicious. Even just the start of another morning, another day, of life itself.
Now they live for the day.
A/N: So what did you think? Did you like it? I just wanted to bring this idea to your attention, cause I don't know how often we ask ourselves this question. I think a lot of us often just live for the weekend or the next thing and forget about the day in between, but those still exist, and I know sometimes it hard to appreciate them, especially if things aren't great, but those days are the steps in your journey, they're important too.
I also wrote this as a progression because that's what I think this is. As you progress through life you are able to hopefully get to a point where you're leaving for each and every day, not just for something more, or different from where you are. Because all you have is the now, all you have is the day, so live for that. Live for petting your dog, or watching a video, or the millions of tiny things that make up a day.
Or maybe, try simply living for the day itself, an appreciation for another day of life, regardless of what it holds.
But enough rambling on my part, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this! Please Review! I'd love to know!
And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
