Live Because You Never Know.

This might sound a bit pessimistic to begin with, but believe me I've got a bit more of a happy ending to it :)

All I really want to say today is, live. It struck me earlier this morning, that life is way too short, I'm talking to you all now, but I don't know whether by tonight I'm still going to be able to talk to you, I just take it for granted that later tonight I will be sitting there with friends alive and well, but the reality is that I might leave to go the chemist like I have to do, and get hit by a bus.

I know that's an awful thing to say. And I know that for someone so optimistic it seems like a pessimist view, but what I'm trying to say is because life is so short, and because life can be ended at any moment, you really do have to live every day as if it is you very last. Go out there in the sunshine today and smile at the people who meet your eye. Have a laugh with friends, make sure you hug your family that little bit tighter before you go to bed tonight, just to remind them that you love them. Not everyone gets millions of people remembering them in this life, we aren't all Shakespeares or Einsteins and not all of us are known by everyone, but all the same we are all amazing! And none of us should squander life because we don't get enough of it to squander.

Finally, don't hold grudges. Grudges hold us up, they bring us down. Let it slide, what's done is done, it cannot be changed, if someone hurts you, you have 2 choices. You learn to forgive them and love them again, or you forgive them and cut them from your life, but there is no point in swearing revenge, it wont do you any good to have all that negative feelings in your head on account of one person.

Keep Smiling
Love, Tutti-Frutti
