I hate...

Well, I was going to write some long-winded rant about how much I hate the bad things, the complicated things, the things that make other things impossible. But I realized that that would be stupid, that it would be fruitless, and that I`d end up regretting it and deleting the post.

After thinking about it for a minute, I decided better. And then it came to me, I knew what I wanted to say.

Love like there`s no tomorrow. Tomorrow is a privilage, not a certainty. Tomorrows are the rewards we get for living today worthwhile, for loving the people we`ve got. We talk about tomorrow like we`re entitled to it, like it`s a given and it`s a fact because we`re so used to waking up in the morning and going about our day, because we know nothing beyond not waking up. Reality check: one day we may not wake up, or we may wake up somewhere else entirely, or we may wake up and no one else believes it. I don`t know. I`m not clairvoyant, I don`t know what comes 'next'.

Put your heart and soul into everything you do because essentially what you do in the end amounts to people. Not the dirty, 'Ew, hahaha, you do people,' but you do to, for and, about people. What you do matters, what you do affects someone. Everything: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the stupid actions all matter so you might as well make the most of them.

If you love, love thoroughly, like loving that person takes every fiber of your being.

If you hate, hate with all the passion and fury of ancient gods bearing down upon the peoples.

If you laugh, laugh heartily, there are too many moments in life that make you just want to hang yourself.

If you cry, cry out every tear and sob out every hurt so that way you have the hope of never crying again.

If you`re being honest, be honest, don`t leave anything out, because you don`t know who could be around to listen to you.

If you lie, lie like a motherfucker on death row because the last thing you want is to go down in flames.

There`s a huge chunk of life we miss out on because we`re too caught up in everything that life can afford. Jobs and school take up time and energy, too much time and energy, if you ask me. We get caught up in making the sale, closing the deal, bringing home the bacon (hold the swine flu, please, haha), winning the bread that we forget to just stop and love and be thankful.

So. Do with this what you wish.
