Best Years

Over the past 9 months since college graduation- a few of my elders have told me over and over again, "enjoy these days, they are the best times of your life- while you are still young" or, "I wish I would have known then what I do now." Well... no disrespect to the people who have shared this advice with me- but I think you are wrong.

Why cant all the days be the best days? Every phase of my life has been fun- all different but all fun. Throughout each stage I learned something for the next stage. I want to try and turn around peoples thinking. If we all dwell on the past or the 'good old days' then what is there to look forward to? I look at people like Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney, Betty White and think- they got it going on- all the time. They look better than they ever have before (Well minus George's recent battle with Malaria... hes a little yellow at the moment) and they all have said in articles that they have never been happier- and they aren't in their 20's.

What is so special about the 20's anyways? It's awkward- like being back in middle school. Not quite suer of myself and learning more in one day than my brain can actually handle. So for all of you who are telling me these are the best days of my life- again, I have to say- you are wrong. Because, again I will say- every day is the best day.

Usually I accept what others say and respect their opinion because thats what makes the world go round- but I really, truly do believe that if people changed their though process- the aging wouldn't suck so bad. I am going to try and start a "Be happy with Brandi project" where I just make people think a little differently every day that will brighten their days. What fun is it to wish you were back somewhere else? Its not fun- so whats the point? Once I realized that I am never going back to college- I set myself on a new adventure and ever since the direction of my thoughts changed- I have been happier.

So, my friends- Be happy with Brandi Project has officially begun. Stop thinking about how great the past was and think about how great right nows phase is. I am not saying every day will be great- but life is- so enjoy ever phase of it.

Lesson Learned:

Every phase is the best phase.

Peace, love and just more love,
