Carpe Diem


There's something I've realised lately. I'm definitely not the first person to realise it; it's not a world changing revelation, but it means something to me.

The thing is, everything's going to keep going. The world isn't going to stop turning, time won't stop for you. Everything is so much bigger than you, you have no control over it. Whatever you do, it's going to be the past in a second, and before you know it, it will be a distant memory, lurking in the corner of your mind. And it's that question you ask yourself; what do I want to remember? When I look back at this situation, what do I want to have said I've done?

Stood there and watched opportunities pass me by, untouched?
Or actually found the balls to do something about it?

You need to act; life is just time, and it's the only thing that we are constantly losing, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Carpe Diem; seek pleasure in the moment before you, with out fear of consequence or failure.
