...

We are

waiting

for something spectacular to sprout in our lives.

We are

hoping

that our dreams will come true as we sit dreaming of them.

We are

dying

every day...but yet we still sit around like our life is endless...when really it’s a ticking time bomb...and before we know it...it explodes with all of our hopes and dreams that we never got to experience because we were just

waiting

hoping

and pretending we weren’t dying.

But death is real. And ignoring it is stupid. And making yourself feel better by saying “oh, don’t worry there is another life beyond this” is ignorant.

This is your life now. You do not know what comes after...or in the future...so stop sitting around waiting for it to come...and live this life now, seize it with both of your hungry palms before it slips out of your hands.

Our lives are now,

so let’s stop

waiting

hoping

dying

every day

and start

breathing

soaking

grasping

life.

(because this is all we truly own).
