My skin darkens, my hair lightens, my freckles become more prominent and both my mind and body grow more relaxed.

I float on my back looking up at the night sky, the stars that shine millions of miles away and the full moon that makes me feel wild.

Yes I know I shouldn't be doing this, but as they say you only live once. You only have one life, you only have one chance. This isn't your lives dress rehearsal or an insight as to what the real thing could be like. This is it.

This is your time, this is your moment.
It's your mind, your heart and your soul. Find the balance between the three and take care of each and every one of them.

They battle like hell, no one can deny that. If they do they haven't lived. They haven't felt true pain and heartache.

Go out and drink the alcohol but drink double the amount of water the next day. Stay out all night and dance until your feet hurt, but try and get eight hours of sleep the next day. Do the wild activities but take part in an activity that will cleanse your mind and soul like yoga.

Have fun and take care of yourself at the same time. Your body is your instrument, use it wisely. Do the crazy stuff but then nurture it the next day.

Do what YOU want. Don't be led by others who tell you different. They may say it's wrong but if you really want to do it then go for it. Life isn't about regret, it's so much more than that.

If you know you'll regret it then you either do it or you don't, do not under any circumstances regret anything.

I still lay on my back supported by the water holding me up, I don't regret my decision of breaking the rules of no swimming after dark. I don't regret it at all. I would have however if I didn't break the rules.

I prefer myself this way; my skin deeper, my hair lighter, my freckles prominent and my mind and body relaxed.

Life sets out no rules only you do.
Do what you want, this is no dress rehearsal.
