“YAY! YAY!”

That’s what the little boy at The Wedge in Newport Beach kept shouting out today.

Man, oh man, this little boy got me hella jealous.

The Wedge is an awesome place for those who just want to sit back and unwind from their fast-paced lives. I’ve practically been busy with school lately because of midterms, so I decided to head out to the coast today with my friend. We sat there, just to think about anything and everything. It’s really calming to just have some alone time. Even if you have all these things on your mind, it simply seems to just fly out in its calmest state.

Then, in the middle of this thinking session, this little boy comes out of nowhere and just runs into the breaking waves, and just jumps all over them, shouting, “YAY! YAY!” He did it for a good 15 to 20 minutes.

I smiled the entire time. Why? Because, he was just so happy, without a care in the world. He’s so young and has so much ahead of him, but at this moment in time, he’s just bathing in amusement. Man, I wish I was a kid again.

Now that I’m 18, I just have so much on my plate. It honestly just gets me so full that I simply cannot digest what life throws onto my plate. But I have to move on, I have to finish it.

My latest motto? “Work hard. Pray even harder. That’s how success comes about.”

I have a lot to do, but I got this. My hard work, along with God’s help will get me to where I need to be. I just got to trust and have faith.

But anyway, even if you’re older, and even when you’re all grown up, just remember, you can always have fun. Don’t drown yourself in the work set before you. Take a break! It doesn’t hurt! :D
