What does it mean?

I debated on what to write about for my first blog this morning. I even googled what I should put into the 'About Me' section on my page. So, the only subject I could come up with is to explain a little bit about my blog title. 

What does Chasing the Sunset mean to me? 
I've always been the independent girl who has never had a steady boyfriend, who has always ventured out on her own, and who has basically wanted to be everything that popped into my head even for maybe two minutes. 
I recently joined Instagram because I am a social media nerd and I came across a picture (found at bottom of page) someone posted of the beach. The caption said, 'Chasing the Sunset'. I immediately thought to myself that the caption HAD to be my title for my blog. 
So, no I did not make this up because I have such a creative way for blog titles. 
But, instead, I used the title because I feel like it explains a little aspect of everyone's lives including my own. 
All of us are chasing something, right? Whether it's a dream, a successful job, to lose twenty pounds before spring break, to become a better person, to quit your bad habits, to make a higher GPA this semester, a relationship, or even (for those new parents out there) a two year old that is crawling everywhere and eating everything. 
People say not to chase after things. People say to let those things just...come to you. But I think differently. Chase. 
What is life without having dreams and high expectations? 
I once posted a quote on Instagram that struck me as one of the best... "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist." - Oscar Wilde
Now, who says that everything comes easy? Because I know it sure doesn't, but that doesn't give anyone the right to give up on whatever they're chasing. Patience is key. 

I said all that because I am not writing this blog for entertainment. Yes, I hope someone can take something from it. But, more importantly, so people can relate to it. Whether you're a twenty year old trying to find your place in this world or a fifty year old just trying to get by, there will be slow days while chasing the sunset. And that is why this blog will be based on random dreams or things that pop into my head for two minutes and I feel like writing about them. So I can show people that in the end, chasing the sunset is worth it. 

The way I see it, there are two kinds of sunsets. There are those that set, but never come up. And there are those that set, but always rise again. 

What kind of sunset are you chasing?
