| Unrotated bookshelves look like dashes |
- 3/365
- It's amazing how much time flies. One day books are read to you, the next, you're reading them out yourselves. One day, life seemed as though it only took a unitary direction, now, you're realizing there's really so much more than what meets the eye.
- Soon, although one would wish it would be later, you're going to have the same thing many people before you have - two years with a dash in the middle; the first clump of numbers symbolizing the year you were brought to life, the other the year when this life was snatched away once more.
- And you know what's sad? That unless you do something in your life that stays after you leave, you're forever going to be that dash. Unless you make a change, then that's you; that's your whole existence. That's everything you love, everything you hope to be, everything you wish you could do. That's you now, and if you don't transcend that dash, then that's who you'll be long after you're gone.
- "The moment you're born is the same moment the clock ticks for your death." Be reminded to be alive 'til then. Be reminded to stay alive 'til then. Be reminded to live 'til then.
- Don't just be a dash.
- Be something that lives on.
