You don't have forever

If I had kids, this is probably one of the lessons I'd like to teach them, you don't have forever because between now and later, this might be the only chance you're going to get and there might be no going back.

Subconsciously, people do know what they want; ask them out right sometimes, it might not pop out, but given a chance it will come out. Anything that you've wished that you wanted to do, is something that you should be doing. If I were to summarize a huge number of life tragedies, it would be that.

Life works in time windows that you don't realize that they are there until they start closing. You generally can be reckless while young, it might even be expected, but don't expect to be able to do the same thing forever.

A big part of life is knowing how to age, gracefully. If there is something that you know that you ought to be doing, then do it until you don't. Because there are things that you can do now that you can't do later... so don't waste time.

And besides, people that make things happen or can do what they want is sexy.
