Really though, YOLO

One shot at it all, right? You do only live once. You are born, you live, and you die. It's all that is guaranteed. Everything that happens in the middle is up to you. You get to decide what you're passionate about, what roads you want to take, what mistakes you want to make, what memories you want to make. I want my memories to be because I did everything I wanted, I want to take those risks and never have any regrets. Mistakes? Sure. A mistake doesn't have to be a regret, a mistake can merely be a wrong turn that you learned from. I've made plenty of those, but they all have taught me something different and allowed me to grow.

I'd like to think my growing right now is branching out. Meeting more and new people, getting to know the ones I know better, and discovering new things about myself everyday. For example, I tend to not like people.. But that's not a new discovery. A new discovery, after an admitted mistake, is that I don't like to just hook up with people, I want something emotionally there first. I prefer peaceful nights to going out and partying. Books, one of my top loves. As well as I've been thinking about how much I love handwritten letters, they're so personal. To compare, a handwritten letter = a face-to-face conversation > a text = talking on the phone. Sometimes I wish I lived in a simpler time, but I don't. So I'll just have to recreate the parts I like.
