Boy Meets World

"I Dare You Move"(Switchfoot)The other day during a ride to church my friends began debating about the presidential election.Well I can't really call it a debate more like ignorant gibberish but that is besides the fact.While they were ignorantly babbling I began to hear things that I knew were not true but if I was to take part of this debate I would not have the artillery for this fight.Realizing that I was not properly prepare for this debate due to not paying attention to the presidential election I did not speak.I began regretting not being involve in the election and with my thoughts which always seem to evolve into something more colossal than it already is.I began pondering on a plethora(love that word)of experiences of my life that I could have been more involve in.I could have been involve in a bundle of groups,organizations,and sport teams but I did not take the opportunity.If I was able to send one message to myself in the past it would only be three words "Be More Involve".Unfortunately the technology of this age does not stay up to date with the technology of my mind and I cannot change my past but I can definitely learn from my past to better my future.I recall a Boy Meets World's episode during their high school graduation.Topanga was valedictorian and as most valedictorians do she was suppose to begin her speech.Instead of Topanga giving the speech she left the honor to her friend Shawn Hunter.Shawn Hunter basically describe how he did not push himself well enough to do his best in school.The words that stuck with me was his last words which was "I could've done better congratulations to those who did".Now the Shawn Hunter scenario does not really apply to the being involve in a precise way but in my peculiar mind there is a small piece of string that connects the two.In my past being more involve could've benefit me in a plethora of ways that could of shape me into a more better man than I am today.Knowing that I could've done better and could've been more involve builds a knot of remorse and regret but I also know that I can only reread the pages of my life and cannot edit them in any way.I Already know what I must do.I must dare myself to move into every opportunity that happens to create fork in my path and experience all that I can experience. My thanks to Shawn Hunter though he is only a fictional character those words contain power to influence one's mind and has definitely influence my.

Shawn Hunter I also could've done better and I also could've been more involve.
