You only live once

If you think this is going to be a blog about how I got so fucked up last weekend and did something extremely stupid because I’m on that I don’t give a fuck, you only live once mentality, then I’m sorry to disappoint you.

If you assumed that this blog was going to be about me getting so high that I forgot to do something important or fail through to accomplish one of my responsibilities because who gives a shit you only live once anyways, right? Then I’m really sorry to disappoint you.

(Just for the record, I have no problems with drinking and I smoke weed occasionally.)

And I never really had any issues with that type of mentality before until recently when I see people giving it a negative connotation.

Using it as an excuse to do really stupid shit. Stupid shit that doesn’t just affect them but the people who love and care for them also.

I’ve heard it before, you sound like a mother. But who gives a shit, it’s been what’s keeping me out of trouble. I’m sorry I like to think about my actions before making them. I’m sorry that I’m good at considering the people I love before I do something stupid that might jeopardize what they might feel about me, and then jeopardizing what I feel about myself.

You only live once right? So why constantly make decisions thats going to change your life in negative ways? Why make decisions that might change the way other people might feel about you? Not just other people, but the people that care and love you. ’ I don’t give a fuck about what other people think about me ‘. That is probably the most told lie in this generation. Of course you care about what other people think about you. You’re just in a level of the highest denial. If you really don’t, you’re not human.

I’ve been guilty of saying that. That I don’t care what people think, it’s my life. But I’ve realized that it’s just another excuse after a mistake to make you feel less like a sucky person for making those mistakes. If everyone stopped coming up with so many excuses after fucking up then maybe mistakes would happen less.

I mean its okay to make mistakes, but if it seems like you’re constantly making them more often than anyone should, then maybe you should consider changing the way you make decisions.

Ahh, I probably sound super condescending and obnoxious and I really hate to come off as those things. I’ve just seen a lot of the people I love fuck up so many times and I know it’s because they have that mentality that they could do whatever they want because ‘you only live once’. And it really sucks to see them caught up, or stressed about dealing with the consequences, or hurting the people that really cares about them.

Yeah, we do only live once. So why not do crazy spontaneous things? Amazing, crazy spontaneous things. Go travel, see amazing places. Learn amazing things. Go against the grain and do things that people are afraid of. Go skydiving, bunjee jumping, learn how to surf. You only live once so why live with so many regrets when you can live with so many awesome stories that you could actually tell your grand kids?

(If you feel that this blog concerns you, then it probably does. And I really don’t mean to come off as a bitch, and I don’t want to lecture, I just care about you (guys) so much that it hurts me (and not just me) to see you going through things that could’ve been easily avoided and if you’re thinking “fuck I feel like doing something crazy”, hit me up, I’ll think of something we can do!)

Umm, thanks for reading!
