525,600 Minutes

This was not the weekend for me to watch "Rent". I've seen it on stage before so I knew what to expect, but I still cried through the whole third act. Watching a movie where all the characters are talking about living their lives to the fullest and not stifling their dreams was not the best choice for me today. I feel like I've wasted half of my minutes and I don't know how to make the best of the other half. I'm too old to blame my mistakes on being young but I don't know how to be a grown-up. I don't have a choice, though, because I've got kids to raise and I don't want to screw that up.
