this is your life

i was browsing the internet and tripped and stumbled over john mayer's blog. his latest entry (03.27.08) was very inspiring and such a good reminder to myself: this life is short. live it to the fullest. don't dwell on regrets. don't dwell on the past because it's just that, the past, and i can't change it even if i tried. moving forward is more constructive and productive. i have way too much stuff, too much baggage (physically and metaphorically) that needs to be cleaned and cleared out.

i especially liked this part of his entry --

"i can really only say for myself: enjoy who i am, the talents and the liabilities. stop acting careless. in fact, care more. be vulnerable, but stay away from where it hurts. read... create more art... root for others. and when it's all over... look back and say that i had it good and i made the most of it while i was able."
