Shoot for the moon.

« Shoot for the moon, even if you miss it you will land among the stars. » A quote by Les Brown I read on a little bookmark in the Indigo store close to my work today as I stopped by Starbucks for Frappuccino hour.

Quotes can mean many things at once, everyone has a different vision for them.

That quote today really sprung to me. Made me stand there and think. It's those weird moments you realize something in your head, heart, soul that you finally found a tiny part of your conscience.

To me this quote meant to go out there, to aim for what I want in life, and that if I don't get that precise thing, I will still be surrounded with the people who love me and the things I love. Obviously the moon would be the ideal spot, but the stars are still pretty amazing in their own way.

Today I spent the rainy day with my 2 really good girlfriends. Obviously I HAD to take them to Starbucks during Frappuccino happy hour because it's awesome! (Who wouldn't want a frappuccino half price?!) It's an awesome way to bond and have our ''girl'' chats and just be us. As I was sipping my amazing grande light mocha frapp, I took out my camera and used my new 50mm lense! I put our 3 drinks on the table and snapped a couple of frames pretty fast knowing other customers would be like..... what? Hahaha!

I will always remember when I was little, walking around town and whenever I spotted a Starbucks BEGGED my dad to buy me something! It started off with the hot chocolates, to the mochas, to the holiday specials and on and on. I can still remember those moments I woke up early for school and my dad would surprise me by driving me to school and stopping by Starbucks to get my Grande non fat no whip mocha, and then dropping me off to school as I walked into class with my little mermaid logo coffee. It's a great memory really, sounds kind of stupid but I miss those moments. I felt so mature and cool!

So I guess sitting there with my 2 girlfriends sipping our awesome frapps I realized that even though I can't get what I truly want right now, I have my ''stars'' there for me to help me build my life and get me back on track and more important: to support me. 

So maybe I didin't shoot the moon just yet, though I am with the stars figuring a way to strike again.

Enjoy,
