i've been seizing, yaay :D. — 2 years ago
I like the way these very different gentlemen have put it:
“So wash your face away with dirt, it don’t feel good until it hurts. So take this world and shake it. Come squeeze and suck the day, come carpe diem, baby”
Metallica from the song carpe diem baby
“Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.”
Elbert Hubbard
“Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.”
Dr. Seuss
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Mark Twain
“I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.”
William Shakespeare
Come to think of it, I “carpe deimed” a lot these last couple of weeks since I started this goal.. Everytime I doubted doing something, I went a long and did it anyway, right then and there in the spur of the moment. I haven’t regretted anything so far, and I love this new way of living and thinking. Since I started doing this, I have had a bit more to tell, a bit more to experience and it’s kept me passionate.
Life is too.* fucking.* short.*
I’m sick of holding back on things, I’m sick of having to confine myself to a routine life when there is so much more to do. I also realised that life doesn’t have to be immaculate, flawless, and with the good comes the bad. I heard somewhere, that expecting too much impediments to living since with anticipation of tomorrow, you lose today.
If you are sitting and reading this right now, get off the computer, and go somewhere new, do something different, eat something new, listen to something else, smell the roses ha, do something completly out of character, please? I guess I’ve always known all these things I just wrote down, just like you;), but I really needed to *hear someone say it to me and really set as it as a goal to get me doing it. I’m still not done with this goal so here’s to more carpe moments.
