There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.

why not give it your all? why not love—in its purest form? why not bet on your entire existence? why not push the needle? why not kiss hard with tongue? why not live to tell the story? why not cuss like a sailor? why not fuck like you mean it? why not sing like mariah? why not care more than you need to? why not pray to all the god’s you know? why not share the good and the ugly? why not trip on the beauty of each and every star? why not be grateful for the little time we have left here?
