As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will.
You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts.
You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt.
Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances.
You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts.
Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
- To what can one compare our life on earth?
- To a flock of geese
- Waddling about in the snow
- Leaving a faint trace of their passage.
SU SHI, "Remembrance"
- Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
- That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
- And then is heard no more: it is a tale
- Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
- Signifying nothing.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Macbeth
 |
Life itself,
too,
is forever turning an infinitely vacant,
dispiriting blank side towards man on which nothing appears,
any more than it does on a blank canvas.
But no matter how vacant and vain,
how dead life may appear to be,
the man of faith, of energy,
of warmth,
who knows something,
will not be put off so easily.
VINCENT VAN GOGH, letter to Theo van Gogh, Oct. 1884
