Getting Philosophical

I was going through my sticky notes (on the computer, not literally) and found a quote. I didn't recognize it at first, then realized I'd written it myself one night after the issue of a "personal philosophy of life" had come up in a conversation with someone.

Here, without further ado, is my perspective on life:

Live every day as if it will never come again, for it won't. When you speak to someone, speak as if this might be the last thing you ever say to them, it could be. Laugh with every fiber of your being, and love the same way. When you must cry, do it without shame, for we all have shed tears. Never focus only on the negative; when you're blue, all things seem dismal.
