It struck a curiousity in me, and I researched. In an interview, Christina claimed that that is her personal mantra - it's like a saying the she lives her life by. To others, it's just another Shakespearean quote. To her, it is important enough to get inked onto her limb. This got me thinking - I should have one, too! I looked up some quotes by people that really inspire me, and thought I'd share my top favorites considering each one made me smile, if even a little bit. Here we go, y'all:
"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted."
-John Lennon
"Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears."
-John Lennon
"There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be..."
-John Lennon
"None but ourselves can free our minds."
-Bob Marley
"Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold."
-Bob Marley
"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
-Andy Warhol
"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."
-Andy Warhol
"They can't scare me, if I scare them first."
-Lady GaGa
"In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you
took, but how many moments took your breath away"
took, but how many moments took your breath away"
-Shing Xiong
Sitting here, reading all of these quotes, I wonder if you're thinking the same thing I am - these quotes are cute and all, but why am I wasting time reading these when I should be going out and living life now? I mean, right now, where ever the hell you are - in a chair, on a bed, on the floor, on an iPhone...you're living life. All the blokes who made those quotes are long gone, but they each lived extravagant lives; that's how they came up with all those clever little lines. So, to all of you readers (just kidding...who the hell reads this blog anyways?) out there, I have one mantra for you: LIVE YOUR F***ING LIFE. JUST LIVE IT AND LOVE IT.
And I'll work on making my nothing into something (;
