The bad test grade, the rumor that you hooked up with five people on Spring Break while you had a boyfriend, feelings of negativity. The bullshit. When we step back, breathe, and realize that we are not infinite, we also come to the realization that all of the trivial things that plague us aren’t infinite as well. The bullshit isn’t immortal either.
We often go through life sweating the small things because that’s what most of us have been conditioned to do. Conditioned through school, through the media, and even through the words of our parents: “You MUST get good grades, because if you don’t get good grades you’ll go to a bad college, and have a bad job, and have a bad spouse, and then you’ll die and it will all mean nothing.” We all die anyway. We are all born into this world with an expiration date, regardless of how stale or ripe our lives sometimes feel. The point is to live among and above the bullshit. The point is to realize that none of it will matter during that nanosecond before your death. What does matter are the things that you truly care about, and truly love. Things that are fun, things that don’t feed into the bullshit, and things that place you in the present moment- that make you not care about the past or future consequences.
Life is only short for those who have never truly lived. Find out what really matters to you, and run with it. Don’t be consistent. Change your mind. LIVE.
As always, A+. I hope other can agree and feel it too. Live like you were dying, life is just too too short for regrets and grudges.
