Everyday is one you will never get back.

Dwell on that for a second.

You will NEVER get any days back.

I don’t mean to make you depressed;

all I mean to do is make you realize your opportunities.  

Just appreciate what you have, what you can do, what you can experience, what you can feel.

Instead of wishing away our time;

appreciate touch,

sight,

smell,

taste.

No matter your opinion on it,

acknowledge everything around you.

People.

Nature.

Poetry.

The world.

Appreciate the passage of time.

You will never get it back.

One day you will be gone.

Instead of wasting your time

in dread of it passing,

live.

    Memento Mori.

    Nevertheless, I’m very anti-death. The whole concept is very flawed and the system could be improved. It also worries me because since I’m sixteen, one-thirty third of my life is already over. C’est la vie.
