What Do You Want To Do Before You Die?
second chances
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
-Henry David Thoreau
My life has been pretty awesome. I've been blessed with a wonderful family who encouraged me in (almost) everything I've tried, along with lots of other cool people and loads of fun opportunities. I've done quite a bit in my life... met a lot of people, been a lot of places, tried a lot of things (including some really gross food), done some stuff just to say I had, and failed gloriously at one or two things as well. I know life's not just about having fun and getting to the finish line. I want to make a difference, too, and because of this I still often find myself looking back and asking "Is it enough?" I want to push the limits. I want to live passionately.
