You only live once, they say.
YOLO
The battle cry of a lost generation.
stupid
We shake our fists at the sky. Cursing a God we never pray
to.
or haven’t prayed to in a long time
We’re not lost. We just claim to be.
I roll my eyes at those who don’t try. Those who expect the
world
To fall into their laps.
YOLO
Really?
Living is everything.
Living many times. In many ways.
In travel
In family
In hope
In silence
In people
YOLO?
I grow more irritated at the notion of YOLO everyday. The
sound of it is stupid. Seriously, would Don Draper yell “YOLO” while trying to
close a deal?
No.
He would spout off some eloquent soliloquy about not
frittering away an opportunity.
Life is about living, and failing, and living again.
It’s about the hurt, about going on when all you want is to
give up.
It’s about the resurrection, the rebirth.
The hope.
