Do Not Waste the Day

Friends, do not waste away the day. No matter how badly it has treated you, each day is only 24 hours long, try make the most of it. Don't sleep it all away. Do something fun, productive or otherwise. Make someone smile. Please don't give up before the time is out. Work is hard and you might be tired, but fight it, I know you can. I'll be here...I'll be here. There's time left, don't give up yet. You're tired, yeah, but give a little more. I'll be here, I will.

Take a walk, look at the stars shine in the night's sky. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Swim until you cannot move any longer. Bike until your legs are sore. Move until your body is wobbily. Close your eyes, let the world settle around you. Stay until the sunsets on the horizon, colours bleeding together. Grass beneath your toes in the summer night, let it go, let it all the stress go. Find the the bit of light from the sparkles that are the lightning bugs. Let your heart soar, let it fly.

We spend the day riding out the waves of time, but don't get caught up with the future so much that you forget about the present. It will all get done, it always does. And if I'm wrong, and it doesn't, well then it doesn't. There's always tomorrow, just do what you can today - nothing more, nothing less. Read a little, walk a little, drink a little, watch a little. That's all I ask.
