Life, It's Too F@cking Short!

If I have learned anything at all about life, especially the last few years, it's the fact that it is too fucking short. How much of our life flashes by in an instant? The older I get the faster it goes and life is too short to be anything but happy.

Man, life is a trip, time doubly so, and lunch time triply so. Is triply a word? I swear it was no more than 3 weeks ago I was 18 and trying to figure out what to do with life. Now I'm 40 and I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life. In the 3 weeks since I was 18 I have amassed a wealth of knowledge that is insane. Granted a lot of it is completely useless, but I am great at trivia. I have almost every tool a guy could want, all the toys a guy can want, and now what to use it all for.

Everyday I go to work and it just seems like an endless grind that isn't really fulfilling at all anymore. I love what I do, but there is so much more in life I could do. It's just about the leap and if I want to take it. This all circles back to life being too fucking short.

One thing to remember is that tomorrow is never guaranteed. For everyone out there, today could be our last day. Yeah it's a little hard to fathom, but it's true. Anything at all could happen and bam we are done. So why not try to make everyday your best day? I find myself saying things like, "eh I can do that tomorrow." Well what if tomorrow doesn't come? That's why we should all live our lives like each day is a fucking gift!

Get out of the comfort zone, take a vacation, drink the good stuff, order the pie, tell people how you feel, wave at strangers, and just make it a life where you don't regret the things you didn't do. Live your life without regrets much like I live my life without forgets. The horrible thing about my brain is that I can't forget anything, so I remember all the chances I didn't take. I've been trying to break that habit and just take the chance because it may be the last chance I take.

People always ask me things like, "where do you see yourself in five years?" Hell I don't know where I see myself tomorrow. Yeah goals are good to plan for but we never know what is going to happen, plans change and life can change in the blink of an eye. Work for what you want but live like you already have it. Don't let life fly by and have a head full of what ifs and whys. If I lived by what ifs, hell I'd never get anything done. Granted I have my list of what ifs but for every what if, give yourself a why not. Why not take the chance, why not make the change, and why not break the cycle.

In long and short, do whatever makes you happy, within reason of course. Life is too short to be anything but happy and we are all the only thing keeping us from happiness. Happiness has to start with you, so for fuck's sake, be happy!
