Three Rules

Dan Millman: Life has just three rules?
Socrates: And you already know them...
Dan Millman: Paradox, humour, and change.
Socrates: Paradox...
Dan Millman: Life is a mystery. Don't waste time trying to figure it out.
Socrates: Humour...
Dan Millman: Keep a sense of humour, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure.
Socrates: Change...
Dan Millman: Know that nothing stays the same.

Just saw Peaceful Warrior because for some freakish reason, Chris and I can't go to sleep for shit. Actually, she's sleeping already and here I am, half alive, blogging because this movie opened my brain. So much for passing out early tonight/morning.

In the span of a month my life has considerably changed. A LOT. I never really thought that I took anything for granted but yes, I did.

I miss my family.
I miss my friends.
I miss my room.
I miss Josie, Desiree, and Erica (our helpers).
I miss Galo and Alfred (drivers).

I know it just takes time to adjust and I know I will. In fact, I think I'm doing a pretty good job for someone who stopped being a 'Princess' in such a short period of time.

In two days, I'm turning 26. I'm scared shitless.
I know, I know. Age is nothing but a number and all that jazz.

But that's 4 years 'til 30.

I thought I would be married with kids at this age.
(Not that I'm complaining. No thanks, not today.)

I just still can't help wondering what the hell is going to happen in my life. I think about it a lot. Sometimes, I just stare at the sky and empty streets and think about the future. And I worry.

I am fully aware that worrying gets you nowhere but seriously, who can say they never worried a day in their life? Noone. Worrying, like aging and B.O. are inevitable. Sometimes, you just can't help it.

Socrates: Where are you?
Dan Millman: Here.
Socrates: What time is it?
Dan Millman: Now.
Socrates: What are you?
Dan Millman: This moment.

I should start living in the moment again.
