Beginning to live...

As quickly as it began, it now draws itself to a close. Two followers, 23 posts and a single month later, I have come to the realisation that to "suck the marrow out of life" means living it and engaging in the world, rather than mere rhetoric about the ebbs and flows of life. How can one seize the day while typing into a computer, onto a blog that nobody reads? Without trying to sound excessively ignorant, I am simply too young to be wasting these precious times pondering questions beyond my years. Perhaps in time I will be back, but for now, I cannot live whilst being stuck inside my own head with my own thoughts. I should be out interacting with the world, enjoying the company of friends and family, learning the lessons of life and discovering who I am and what my place is in the world.

Thank you for reading - maybe I will be back one day, but as long as I am not writing, I plan to be actively living in the real world rather than passively succumbing to the luring trap of a blog spot.

"They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary."
