20 Before 20. #1: Go to a music festival!

Last weekend I went to a music festival called Music Midtown in Atlanta. I went with two of my friends from college and my younger brother. We saw some of our favorite artists such as Drake, Sam Smith, Tove Lo, Allesia Cara, and Hozier among many others, and I had not had that much fun in such a long time. There were times when we were taking breaks and sitting under the shade of the trees in the parks, and I would just think to myself, "life should be like this all the time." That was when I asked myself, "well why not?"

Why can't life be like this all the time? WE came to this music festival. WE made this happen. Life really can be amazing all the time. We have to look at the opportunities that we are given and take them! The only person getting in the way of us doing what we really want to do is ourselves. Sometimes we get so caught up in the monotony of our daily routines that we forget to do the things that we really love. My biggest fear in life is coming to the end of it and realizing that I never did all of the things that I wanted to do. Sometimes we tell ourselves that we want to do things and we put them off for so long that we lose track of time, and before we know it years have gone by. We are only given one life, and I don't intend on wasting mine. 

I have given myself a challenge. I have decided to make a list of twenty things that I want to do before my twentieth birthday. I want to look back on my nineteenth year and have nothing but good memories.

This is a photo that I took at Music Midtown on September 18, 2015. We waited in this spot for two and a half hours to see Drake. SO worth it! He closed out the night with a firework show!
