I’ll be honest; I wasn’t going to write to you this week. It’s been rather a dark gloomy period, literally and figuratively, and so all I have wanted to do is curl up in bed with crisps and cuddles, and do nothing else.
But, I promised that I would show up here every Wednesday, without fail. So here I am. The ordinary me would have taken weeks off and waited to feel like I was “ready” to be social again. But the new, striving to be better me, is here. Thinking. Typing. Writing. If not for anything, it is to stay astride the elusive strong-headed horse called consistency. Give that horse one small inch of lax, and it will take a thousand freaking miles. Before you know it it’s October and you haven’t done anything regarding your craft since March, and now you’re feeling bad because you have fallen, yet again, into the enslaving pit of misery, regret and anguish, called inconsistency.
So, here I am.
While I am here, I’d like to remind you to treat every day like it’s your last. To make the best of every opportunity that comes your way. To live your very best life, maximize your potential, and chase after all your dreams. Even the ones that seem unrealistic and unachievable. Stop holding grudges. Stop wasting time arguing about things that don’t matter. Love your loved ones. Hard. Spend as much time as you can with them. Cherish every moment you spend with them.
Because in one unfortunate second they could be gone, and you will never see or hear from them ever again.
