reasons to live:the spring edition

Writer: Alan AguilarAlan Aguilar



  • the days are getting longer and you can feel new energy building up inside of you

  • the green is getting greener

  • the first serenade performed by the birds when the sun hits their nests

  • when the sun hits your own face and you can feel the warmth of the sunrays

  • life adding splashes of colour to your surrouding when the flowers are starting to grow

  • the people around you are getting happier

  • the feeling of wearing sneakers after months of awkward boots

  • the joyful laughter from children who finally feel brave enough to face the world after a long period of darkness

  • the smell of spring

  • you can open your windows and let the air freshen up your house

  • the first bees and butterflies venture forth

  • your mind is clearer and you thoughts are brighter

  • seeing the spring rain through the rays of sun

  • you know summer is getting closer



Life is just a small moment. Sometimes I like to procrastinate things I want to do because "it isn't the right time". I even try to save some clothes and things because "I will wear them on a special occasion," but the reality is that every day is the best day to do things. Every single day is different, therefore every day is a special day. Every day is the day to do that thing you've been thinking about. Every day is the day you've been waiting for to wear that nice shirt you bought or those fancy shoes that took forever to come. I am trying to tell myself not to wait for the perfect day to do what I want to do or to be who I strive to be. The best day to try new things, to wear those new clothes and even to risk everything to be who you really are is today.


Despite the fear of it all, if you don't try today, who knows when you will be able to later on. So I am trying to plan myself for the today and not the tomorrow.

Life is a gift that most of the time we take for granted so let's do everything we've been wanting to do.
