Ursula K. Le Guin: "Only in silence the word, only in dark the light, only in dying life."

You get to live your life. Billions of people never will.

The rest of your life is a long time and whether you know it or not it's being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices or you can fight back. Things aren't always going to be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is but for the most part you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question. What's worse not getting everything you wished for or getting it but finding out it's not enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now with the dreams you chase, the choices you make and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time and the rest of your life starts right now.

Life is short, so do what makes you happy. Be with those who make you smile. Laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as you live.
