I wasted a good chunk of my life not living it because I had to consider other people. How they feel, how I look to them, how the things that I do can possibly affect them. I missed out on a lot of things because I had to consider what others would think. Then life rained on me and when I looked around, I was alone. I missed the train and there was no one to accompany me as I tried to find my way home.
It's funny how in a world of billions, in a way, you're really all that you got.
Don't live your life for other people. Do things that you've always wanted and forget the second thoughts. Live for the nights you'll fall asleep with a smile on your face, reliving the events of the day; dress up so you'd impress yourself when you look at the mirror. Gamble for the moments you think would turn into great memories.
One day, you'd look back and thank yourself for the risks you took, for the lessons learned, for the adventures.
