Carpe Diem

Look well to this day. Yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day. - Francis Gray


Too often, one assumes there'd be time enough, ahead of us, to do all the things we want to do, say all the things we want to say, tell all the stories we want to tell, laugh at all the jokes we should laugh at, and sing all the songs we would like to sing. There're always reasons to hold back. Circumspection, awkwardness, shyness, being "adult" about it, being "careful" about things, pride. Sadly, one realises, too late, that time is finite, afterall.
