Live, For God’s Sake.

I had my second car accident yesterday and this time I wept profusely.

I didn’t want to drive yesterday so I booked an Uber instead. Many minutes later and there’s two vehicles locked into each other and my bag flung and my mouth left open in disbelief.

I am safe of course and it is why I am writing. The driver on the other hand must be the luckiest man alive for escaping such.

I cried so much.

I cried for many things.

I cried for getting such a scare.

I cried for getting out unscathed.

I cried because my God is good.

I cried for the wickedness the other driver showed to my own driver.

I cried for the exhaustion I felt.

I cried for how fickle life is.

I want to write many things but I will say that I had a lot of a scare yesterday —a reminder that life can be so unpredictable. It got me thinking about how fickle things can be, and how important it is to truly live and embrace every moment we have.

Anything can happen and anytime.

Anything can happen and it’s why I think you should live and do what you want to do today.

Take chances

Love deeply

Take care

Make mistakes

Fail

Get your own style

Switch careers

Live fully

Get some sun

Know yourself but also know you can change

Judge your actions

Never your thoughts

Hold yourself to a higher standard

Don’t be scared of making a fool of yourself

Love someone else

Be polite

Don’t read self help books everytime

Be skeptical

Find sad people and make them em happy

Stare out the window

Laugh so much

Continue to live

Dance after a rejection

Run after an accident

Sleep

Push

Daydream

Don’t try to correct your feelings

Don’t try to make money from everything

try to not be bored

Don’t try to be happy

try to love instead

Learn how to tell a story and make people laugh

Don’t be mean

Tell the truth

Remember everything

Know that your existence is a meaningless random accident and it’s amazing and glorious and a miracle and the only real magic in this world

Turn up the music

Close your eyes

Smile

Please, live.
