“Whatever you want to do, DO IT.
There are only so many tomorrows.”

Alright. I’m going to start off by explaining to you my OBSESSION with quotes.  You may think I’m kidding, but nope. Dead serious.  My phone gallery? Filled with pictures of quotes.  My walls? Covered with quotes.  I even have books dedicated to me writing quotes in them.  Quotes make my life easier because when I need inspiration they’re ready to be of use.  I need inspiration a lot….

Anyway back to this quote.. I am sorry I don’t know who said this originally, but I have so much admiration for whomever it was.  Quotes are polytheistic, and this is one of the quote gods of all the peasant quotes.  I’m kidding, but I’m also totally not.

This quote is telling you to get up.  Go out there.  And do what you’ve always wanted to do.  LIVE your life.  Make it count.  Don’t die with regrets.  Don’t die with a bucket list.  And definitely die with a whole bunch of “what ifs.”

I hate to burst your bubble, and I apologize now if you’re one of those irrational people who are afraid of death, but everyone dies.  Yes, listen closely, EVERY SINGLE PERSON, WHETHER THEY LIVE OR NOT, WILL DIE.  I know.. you just read what was in caps lock and got so confused.  How could they die if they didn’t live?  I’m not saying they weren’t alive.  They were.  They may have even been here for over a hundred years, but maybe they didn’t live. 

So I’m telling you right now.  Get out there.  Live your life. Because you are going to die.  It may be another hundred years before you die, but hell.  It could be tomorrow.  The truth is, life is unpredictable.  Nothing is promised and nothing is guaranteed.  We just have to make the most out of it when we still have the chance to.

And don’t you dare argue with me about how when you “get out there, you could die” because I’m going to tell you right now that having “died skydiving” in your obituary is a hell of a lot cooler than “choked on asparagus.”

Hope you enjoyed this post!  It’s a little goofier than my poems have been.. Leave me comments with feedback and your favorite quotes!!
