LIVE.

“Get dirty. Get fucking filthy. Get poor. Get off your ass. Get desperate. Get dangerous. Get vilified. Get vile. Get pro-active. Get started. Get your own life. Get doing something. Anything. Because before you know it you’re 40 with kids, a mortgage, & responsibilities that cause your fun to come second. So before cancer, before children, before 50 hour work weeks, before back & knee problems, before school loans, before you lose your sense of humor… Fight. Fight & fuck & run & smile. Smile because the older you get, the less you will. So yes, “quit being such a goddamn pussy,” because bitching & whining & worry never made anything better.”

I love this quote. Not enough people live by it. People are so scared to actually LIVE their lives that they wind up growing old without ever living. People are so worried over what’s going to happen in their future that they don’t live in the present. People need to be in the moment more, smile more, laugh more, and enjoy their life more. The moments you have now won’t EVER come back, no matter how much we may want them to so we truly need to enjoy every single moment that we have. Not enough people realize that. People think that they can make moments happen again if they REALLY want to, but then when they try – they realize that they can’t. And then that moment’s gone, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

So, go out, act stupid, and have fun. Act like a kid while you still can. Fight the societal pressure to grow up, because once you do – there’s no going back. Enjoy your life. Treasure EVERY MOMENT you have with the ones you love. Always tell the people you love how you feel about them. You might never have the chance again. Live in the moment. Never let a good moment pass you by. And once a moment is gone, remember it.

Love & Quotes

A quote I found:

“Because, that’s the thing about love, really. No one will love you how you want to be loved; they’ll love you in the only ways they know how. Life throws everyone down drastically different paths so how can we expect everyone to love in the same way? The person you’ll spend your lifetime with will love you in their way and you’ll love in yours, and maybe you’ll meet in the middle and it’ll last. None of us know what we’re doing, you see, we’re just fumbling for matches in the dark. If you’re lucky, you might eventually just strike the right one.”

It’s true. Everyone loves, just in the only way they know how. You can’t expect someone to love you the way you want them to – they might not know how to. But if someone loves you and tells you so, and they mean it, just believe that. Don’t get upset because they don’t love you in the way you want them to. Don’t get upset because they don’t dote on you every second of every day or surprise you with flowers every chance they get. Just know that they love you as much as they can and as best as they know how. If you know & believe that they love you with their whole heart, isn’t that enough? They shouldn’t have to change the WAY they love you simply because you want them to.

Successful relationships aren’t built off trying to change someone into someone you can love.

Successful relationships are built off finding an imperfect person, and loving them perfectly; loving them, just the way they are, with all their flaws & quirks.

If you’re lucky enough to find someone you love, and who loves you back – never, EVER take that for granted. It might not always be there.

Enjoy it and cherish it with all your being, because that’s the only way to live – by cherishing the things that are wonderful in our lives.

If you are lucky enough to have amazing and wonderful people in your life – make sure you tell them; make sure you tell them how much you care for & love them and treasure their existence in your life – you never know when they might not be there anymore.
