Live Life Right Now

Live Life Right Now

You will be 18, 19, 20 for only 365 days. And you could die at 21 or 25. Say yes When your mom asks if you want to sleep with her.

One day she’ll be not with you even to lay a head on her shoulder, and there won’t be enough room to make up for right now. Stop canceling plans; go out and use your legs while they work.

You’re guaranteed nothing.

Stop denying affection.

You’ll never be able to love someone as an adult at 40. Let someone say and make reactions to your actions.

Don’t stop. Don’t keep quiet because you’ve been told it’s too soon. If you love them, say so, and be brutally and beautifully honest. Fight for peace, equality, and for change.

Go out and change the world. When you’re 70 and can only watch the news all day, you don’t want to see the same issues still going on when you had every chance to fight it.

Stop romanticizing the “I don’t need anybody” and “I don’t have feelings or an attitude. It’s easier to make friends in high school than in nursing homes. Embrace feelings and intimacy. Don’t fool yourself by acting cool.

Don’t apologize for caring; don’t let anyone make you feel guilty, even if it’s one-sided.

Life never slows down for you; it runs and competes with you. So it’s your choice to move further in time and learn everything you ever wanted. It doesn’t matter how weird it sounds.

No one is going to judge you after 2 seconds.

I promise.

Nobody cares what you do. People die, and hearts become weak with every atom in your body.

Live right now at this point in time, in this moment with yourself and with your loved ones.
