No one can make it on their own, not even me: an English and Spanish Major living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Living in the Moment is a blog I started in 2012, without aim or focus. However, I started shaping it more into what I hope it to be in 2013, and am proud to say that little by little it has grown in popularity. (It continues to grow, more like it.) It took me a while to focus on a theme for this blog, but I can finally say that it is a blog centering on a human life: my life. (Sound a bit egocentric don’t I? I swear, I’m not.) I do juggle a few theme blogs on the side, but this one will focus on my thoughts, short writings, books, photos and the music I like. I want to share myself with those who will listen, and hope that just as I take solace from the words of others, that others will take the same from mine. I named this blog Living in the Moment because I have learned the hard way that the past and future are both out of my hands, and by focusing too much on them, I loose out on what is going on around me in the present. So, by keeping this blog, I hope to encourage myself and others to live in the moment and see what is around us before it is gone.

Living in the Moment 
Thanks for the follow over on my blog. Looks like we have a couple of things in common, living in the Bay Area, and I need to explore your blog a little more to find out about the believing in mermaids….Great to meet you here on WP.
Haha, thanks for the follow. I actually recently changed the blog name so I haven’t been able to post an entry addressing it, I will soon though. And you’re right, we do have some stuff in common, I plan to explore your blog some more as well!!
Hi, thanks a lot for visiting my blog! I’m a little busy at the moment but I’ll be sure to come back here 🙂 I hope to be reading your novel in the future. May your dreams come true! Never stop believing in them!
Thanks so much, sorry for the late reply hahaha. I look forward to your future posts and art as well:)

Will do:) I’ll be working on the post now!
Yay~~!
🙂 So how are you liking being a WordPress Blogger?
its a brilliant outlet XD haha. plus, it’s helping me get to know myself better 😀
Thanks great! (That’s why I write–partly–to get to know myself better.)
quick question, are you actually 13? or well, 14?
No no, that’s just a pen name I came up with a while back. (And then stopped using because it hit me that perverts would probably try to pick on me.) I’m actually 23.
oh. i thought there was someone actually my age here XD hahaha
Aww, sorry to break your hopes then. 🙂
nah it’s fine :3 the adults here dont act like adults anyway.. well, some of them
Even when you’re “grown up” you’re never really an adult, believe me lol.
oh, that’s a good thing then. :3
Yep:)
Love your header and blog! I’m a firm believer of living in the moment and the title caught my eye.
Glad my little piece of the internet world caught your attention!
I’m happy I did too!

I had no choice but to nominate you in the Sunshine Awards. http://rabiscos2d.wordpress.com/2014/01/12/hello-sunshine
You make it sound like someone’s twisting your fingers as you type! (Just kidding:)
But thank you.
Hey, thanks for nominating me for a Sunshine Award! Coincidentally, I did the exact same for you: http://polymathically.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/im-blogging-on-sunshine/
This must be some sort of Blogception!
Hey thanks! I know, what a coincidence! I’m glad you like my blog enough to nominate it though!
http://onesahmscrazylife.wordpress.com/2014/01/13/im-such-a-cheater/
I know you liked my post, but it’s still kind of protocol that I tell you here. I’m a follower(Heh..I follow you..follower. Yeah I know, not funny. Quit judging! :-P) You’ve been nominated for the ABC(Awesome Blog Content award) because well..you’re awesome!
I’m tired. If you want wittier comments here *Insert your own and pretend I typed it. Laugh hysterically and then eat a cookie*
Did that work? I hope so.
Aww thank you so much! And it did work. I laughed even without inserting my own witty remarks. In fact, I laughed more than I would have otherwise.
YAY! You’re welcome hun, you deserve that award!!!
Again thanks. I never thought my blog would get this popular so fast!

Hi, I think your blog is great and I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. If you’d like to accept please follow the link below. Have a great day! 🙂
Hey thanks!
But sadly I am not accepting any awards at the moment. However, I am very (very) honored that you chose my blog. Thank you very much. 🙂
Well, Miss Mary, I have to say you are one busy and phenomenally creative person. It isn’t just the quality of your work, but the variety and volume of output. The more I see, the more I envy you, your youth and having the time in your life to do all of the things you do. I realize none of us have enough time for all we want to do, but you seem to find time for things that give you and those who know you joy. I’m so glad I found your blog. Even un anciano like me finds pleasure in it. Keep having a blessed life.
Thanks again, though I am not so sure about the quality of my work. I often feel that I could do better, and could post more “serious” works. However, I am very thankful to you for taking the time to even look at my posts. 🙂 And I wish you the best in life as well, you and your loved ones.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful blog 🙂 Keep writing….Best of luck! ❤
Thank you so much!
