Words to live by
If I Could Live My Life Again
In the next one I would try to make more mistakes.
I would not try to be so perfect, I would relax more.
I would be sillier than I have been, in fact,
I would take very few things seriously.
I would be less hygienic.
I would take more risks, make more trips, contemplate more sunsets, climb more mountains, swim more rivers.
I would go to more places I have never been to,
I would eat more ice creams and less cereals.
I would have more real problems and less imaginary ones.
I have been one of those persons who lived each minute of his life with judgement and in a prolific way;
of course I had happy moments.
But if I could go back, I would try to only have good moments.
For if you don't know, that is what life is made of, only of moments;
do not miss the now.
I was one of those who never went anywhere without a thermometer, a bag of hot water, an umbrella and a parachute;
if I could live again,
I would travel lighter.
