if today was your last day and tomorrow was
too late could you say goodbye to yesterday?

my best friend gave me the best advice
he said each day's a gift and not a given right
leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
and try to take the path less traveled by
that first step you take is the longest stride

against the grain should be a way of life
what's worth the prize is always worth the fight
every second counts 'cause there's no second try
so live like you'll never live it twice
don't take the free ride in your own life

if today was your last day
would you make your mark
by mending a broken heart?
you know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
regardless of who you are
so do whatever it takes
'cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
let nothin' stand in your way
cause the hands of time are never on your side

life's a journey not a destination so capture each moment, make each memory last a lifetime and don't change for anyone but you

i'm eighteen, i'm female and i'm out to change the world. i speak too little, think too much, feel more than is normal and work at everything with a passion not always returned. i read vicariously, have a bigger vocabulary than i'm ever going to realistically use and submerge myself in writing. i'm a perfectionist in some areas, i'm a slob in others and i'm also a self-confessed nerd that plays too much world of warcraft.

i'm the girlfriend of a gorgeous guy who has the sweetest, kindest nature i've ever known and the most beautiful brown eyes i've ever seen. and i'm also the best friend of a girl who has the most astounding inner strength and the biggest, warmest heart imaginable. these two people mean the world to me and i hope never to lose them.

i dream of being a nurse, helping people and changing the world but i also dream of having a family, setting up a home and settling down. i really want to have both, i can't imagine giving either up.

life is short. don't waste it with whatifs and doubts. just live like there's no tomorrow and never stop loving.
