As I travel through life on my reckless journey, I hope to never find my destination and just wander.
Because isn't that what life is about? To explore, to never settle down, to jump off cliffs not knowing where or if you will land. To walk into a roomful of deep unknown blind, to fall in wild and careless love, to laugh and get drunk with total strangers, to cry until you feel your heart crush under the weight of your own sadness. To believe in the magic of new beginnings, to dance under the stars until your legs ache, to question absolutely anything and everything and ponder at 3AM.
Don't just live. Be alive.
A few days ago, someone with a very beautiful soul passed due to leukaemia. She was seventeen years old, the same age as me, and it broke my heart to realise how little she got compared to what she deserved. It opened my eyes and made me realise that you never know when God will come and take you. Live each day like it's your last, because you never know when your last day on this earth is.
