"Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you"

"Spend the afternoon.  You can't take it with you" - Annie Dillard (Writer)

In case you don't catch on, this is a metaphor of sorts.  You can not literally use the afternoon as money. 

Just, live your days.  Because once the day is over, it's gone.  You can't get it back.  You can't save time like money and use it later.  You either use it now or let is slip away.  Your choice.

"It depends..."

" "It depends" is almost always the right answer to any big question." - Linus Torvalds (Software Engineer)

It means you think.  Sweet right?  Thinking is very good.  I know there are some people that like to make all their decisions by the seat of their pants, but that's silly.  It may seem like when someone proposes that the answer is spur of the moment.  But it isnt.  People think about that for a long time in advance, maybe without even knowing.

And then there's things like moving, moving depends on a lot of things.  You just have to have the sense to think about them and not screw up your life.

Just don't overthink things.  There's a balance.

"The only dream worth having...."

"The only dream worth having...is to live while you're alive and die only when you're dead" - Arundhati Roy (Activist/Writer)

Yes, dream big.  But live bigger.  Don't let your dreams get in the way of your life, and don't let your life get in the way of your dreams.  I have many dreams, and I won't give up on them because of other things in my life.  But I won't give up on my life just for them.

It's like having kids.  If you quit your dreams when you have kids, you probably wont be a very happy person.  I don't know personally, as I don't have kids.  But really, having dreams and pursuing them is a huge part of what life is really about.  Don't you think?
