Having It All

At some point in the tradition my best friends and I have of watching Sex in the City, we decided that we would choose the most similar character to our personalities. Long story short, I am Charlotte. Admittedly, I am in quite a few ways. Because of that, one of her lines from the new movie resounded deeply with me.

Charlotte said that because she had it all, she was so afraid that something was going to happen to take it all away. As egotistical as it may sound, right now I feel as though I have it all. I have all that I need and all that I want. At twenty, I know where I will be for the next few years, and I know who I will spend them with. All my dreams have fallen into place, almost when I wasn't looking. All I have ever wanted is now a part of my life. I'm not quite as worried about losing it though.

I have found that it is human nature to worry about getting all that we want and what we find necessary. When we have all of what we find necessary, we either worry about getting more, or losing what we have. Or both. Some of us are good at multi-tasking.

I wonder why we all have the deep ability to worry about everything. I know that I worry and I also know that it is unnecessary and does nothing good. Stopping the worry in my life is something I am working on.

I am aware that all I have in my life may not seem like much to many people, but it is what I need. Maybe the secret of having it all is simply being happy with all that you have. I know that I am.
