the precious seconds of life.

Time is money? And life is short? Well, why are we wasting time and life? I've sat here and wrote this and well, you're reading this. The number of minutes you spend reading this (and me writing this) is time gone. Vanished and you will never get it back. Those are minutes shredded off your life, however long it may be.

I know a lot of us don't like talking about death, it's a scary thought but let this be an exception. I see so many people thinking life is just school, work and jobs. It's a factor but we can't let our lives be overruled by a factor that won't stop us from dying. It won't prolong our lives and it won't shorten it, hopefully. Life is more than the grades we achieve, more than the dead-end jobs we have and more than the sleepless nights after school. The meaning of life is to give your life of meaning. If that's achieving your dream job, well great but if it's achieving your dream job yet you're stuck in a job you hate, don't give up. Don't let it stay like that, strive for better because as it once said in an episode of New Girl, "the sun's gotta be shining somewhere". 

So go. Get off the computer. Leave the house and do something worthwhile. Do something that you can look back on in 10 years and smile because you lived in the moment. All we do is waste the present by worrying about the future and trying to fix the past. We're not going to live forever and statistics show that our generation will die before our parents. Don't be a product of society and don't have an exact plan for your future (school, then college, then university, then a job, then marriage and then kids). Because if you died next week, would you be able to say you lived for more than education/a job?
