When it’s over…

“I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”

Live while you’re alive, right now this moment, this one and the next, these moments are your life.

Live in all your bones, don’t settle for someone else’s version of you or your life.

You came here to be you.

Live that amazing self out loud.

“When it’s over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”

-Mary Oliver
