No time to stop.

Every day is passing you by, quicker and quicker.
You come into the world, alone, cold, covered in blood.
Childhood quickly becomes a faint string of memories, overshadowed by the blur of booze, boys and the bottomless pits of depression that you begin spiralling into, on your helpless trek through the dark and dreary depths of your teenage years.
Your twenties hit. It's a new time in your life, free from restrictions, the world is your oyster, new experiences, new people, a new lease on life...until realisation rears its ugly head and you notice that your life is still rushing by you.
And then, before you know it, your childrens childhoods are flying by as fast as yours did, and you're in the midst of a mid life crisis that sends you reeling into your 60's, greying, saggy and exhausted.
Almost without notice you hit the end, alone, cold, covered in blood, leaving the same way you came into the world.
There's no time to stop. No time to wait.
Do everything that you question and everything that you don't. Take Chances.
Smile at every opportunity.
Listen. Learn. Love, as much as physically possible.
Be everything you've ever wanted to be. Life is too short to waste.
