Why Wait

Why Wait-

DO IT. Don't wait for anything. When I look back on my 21 years of life I think about everything I've ever done, all the places I've ever been, and the people I have met and man my heart is full. When I think about all the things I WANT to do I get a little sad. I have lived for 21 years and my bucket list is not even halfway from being crossed off!

Now I am hoping that God has many more years left in store me and when I am 80 I can sit in a rocking chair drinking peach tea and smile and my man in black (aka future Johnny and June) and say I did everything I ever wanted.

But what if God decides to not let me live till I'm 80? What if he decides to take me now, or tomorrow, or when I am 32 and have 6 kids? Those people that God takes too soon for His own reasoning.

I wonder if they accomplished everything they ever wanted, if they saw all they wanted to see, and did all they wanted to do? I will never know and so maybe that's another reason to not wait.

To live for those who can't anymore. I know that when I am sky diving or parasailing or drinking wine in Italy or singing "Boston" in Boston or star gazing in Sedona, Arizona or shot gunning a beer with my dad or running in the Boston Marathon or going to New York for New Years Eve I will be thinking of ALL those who have gone before me and I will not only know I am living for them but living for my own satisfaction of accomplishment, of a successful life on Earth when I get to go where our bucket lists should take us.

"I know I'm going to Heaven, but I can't go like this, I need to pull myself together, before then. No I ain't afraid of dying, but what scares me to death, is meeting Jesus with regret on my breath."

GO LIVE.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
