theres a stupid reason that i dont like regretting things i dont do
i was once at sallys hair place getting stuff to do my roots and me and the lady at the front desk started chatting. she was absolutely stunning like literally-
but i told her, i was like i really wanna cut my hair. and she was just like do it. i was like thats easier said than done and i have strict parents.
she responded with, "my parents were strict, too. but i will say, doing stuff that you want to do now but wont be able to do it in the future, do it. it doesnt matter the consequences as long as you're happy with the decision and it makes you feel good. so, fuck what they say. their time has passed and it's your time to shine. so, shave your head, kiss that guy or girl... or anyone, try new things. you only live once and there's not much time until high school and college end. live your life and make sure there arent any consequences that make you regret everything either way."
she then hugged me and was like "be you, dude. you have one life and you need to live it."
(most definitely a rendition, idk anything word for word)
this was like a little under a year ago but it still hits hard. like, thank you wherever you are and i hope you are getting drunk on life.
so, go live your lives with no regrets. be who you are. go cliff jumping. go swim with sharks. take a trip around the world. as long as it makes you happy.
