Live Life

 Written by Kaitlin Gray

What if we died tomorrow, knowing only in our heads the life which we so unadventurously lived? What would happen when that tire so unforgiving, took our very last breath as his own? And when that happened, we lay motionless as our life ended, images of life running through our head; time we so unappreciatively wasted. Time is precious, you see, and without adventure treasurable time is lost.
Which is why we, as human beings, must do the total opposite of what people expect us to. We should live as rule breakers, not goody two shoes. Take chances. Face your fears; they will only make you more scared than you were in the first place. Sing tone-deaf in the shower. Laugh out loud, even when there is nothing to laugh about. Waste money on useless crap. Be scared. Tell the truth. Feel the pain of consequences. Yell at a jerk. Repent when you are done. Seek adventure in the short life you have to be adventurous.
So the answer is yes, my darling. Make mistakes, live life. Without doing so you are merely a ghost; undead, yet lifeless. There is no point to live if your life is filled with nothing out of the ordinary. So ask yourself the question, “what if I died tomorrow?” What would happen then? Would you be proud of the life you lived, or regretful of the dreams you didn’t chase? Never be penitent. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Each wrong choice is worth it. Don’t regret mistakes, for at the end of time you will realize those mistakes are what made you, well, you. Never be someone you’re not.
Life isn’t life without mistakes. Always remember, mistakes are adventure; and adventure is life.  Without adventure you would be dead.
You would die tomorrow.



“A ship in a harbor is safe, but that’s not why ships are built.”
“Take chances. Abandon all the rules. Ditch the recipe. Color outside the lines.”
         “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
“You cannot always wait for the perfect time. Sometimes you must dare to jump.”
“Take a chance. You never know what might happen.”
“Take a chance. Because you never know how absolutely perfect something might turn out to be.”
“If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it.”
“Doesn’t being scared let you know you are on to something important?”
“If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.”
“The worst mistake anyone can make is being too afraid to make one.”
“The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them.”
“If you don’t take the risk, you might as well have never lived at all. Don’t waste your time; TAKE CHANCES AND MAKE CHANGES. It’s what we were all made to do.”
“Her life improved dramatically when she decided to break the rules and find beauty where she had been told there was none.”
“Well behaved women rarely make history.”
“3 simple rules in life:
1.  If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it.
2.  If you don’t ask, then the answer will always be no.
3.  If you don’t step forward, you will always be in the same place.”

In this world, we have to take chances. Sometimes they’re worth it, sometimes they’re not. But I’m telling you now, you will never know until you try.
