life is not a song, sweetling

A life well-lived should be one that is filled with tears and laughter. So long as you feel strongly about something, I believe that it will teach you everything you need to know about how to face life and conquer it, if need be.

I have found many joys and many sorrows in all my 26 years, but naturally I still feel lacking in many areas. I have not traveled as often as I'd like to. I have not properly loved someone the way I'd like to. I have not learned how to take as many risks as I'd like to. I have spent my life so far being cautious in everything I do. But it is time now, more than ever, to start plunging into the unknown and cast aside all my fears.

You hear it often enough - life is fucking short. Start to really, really believe in it. Go chase your happiness, even if it is indeed running through the streets trying to find you.
