if today was your last day

been thinking a lot lately about how i know too many people that are my age and have passed away. we fall into the trap of routine, of living life meaninglessly, of thinking that there will be time in our lives to chase our dreams. what happens if the journey is suddenly cut short? nobody knows what tomorrow holds.

when i die, i want to have experienced an adventure. i want my eyes to have lingered on the world's most beautiful sights, carving them slowly into memory to remain forever. i want to have stood atop the highest peaks and tried everything and anything. i want to have no regrets about any of my decisions. i want to have chased my dreams and fulfilled them. i want to have touched the hearts and lives of the people around me and live a life where i have loved fully. i want to laugh my way through this adventure that stretches ahead of me.

so that's part of the reason i'm quitting. where i work now has no place in the future i want to build for myself. i don't want to spend more time in a place that drains the life out of me.

if today was your last day
would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
you know it's never too late to shoot for the stars

on another note, jjlin is around the corner & i just realised! i have 12 days to listen to 7 albums. ._.
