Life is about Chance

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will at some point.

That we will have our hearts broken and will sometimes break the hearts of others. That we may fight with our best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and at some age or stage we will all cry for time wasted or lost.

So do yourself a favor and take many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt before.

Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances and you just have to live life to the fullest.

Tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off if you have been wishing to do so for years. Speak out, dance in the pouring rain like no one is watching. 

Hold someone's hand, take time to comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts.

Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

The Road Not Taken

As a teenager i have always had a secret obsession with Poetry, the fact that words can capture moments in time and make it endless.

The Road not taken by Robert Frost is among those that i just cannot help but love.  

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference


Robert Frost
