I am completely driven by gratitude.

Every true day that I don't get a text or phone call that somebody I love died or has terminal illness, I'm fucking pumped.

And so please, please understand you have one life.

Do something with it.

if you go to a nursing home is you will find multiple people that will talk to you about regrets in a way that will pierce your soul in a way that you've never felt before because they're actually in that place where time has run out.

And it will make you go back home and start cooking for the first time, starting a video, running, like you'll start doing shit that you've been pondering for the last decade after one hour of giving back

I don't care how many times you've had to cry yourself to sleep.

I don't care how difficult it is.

Don't you dare give up now.

Because whatever is over you defines you.

And whatever defines you limits you.

You better put some strength in your back, plant your feet, square your shoulders, and stand up to it!

Don't you dare sit down.

Don't you dare crumble under the weight of it.

Don't you dare give in because of the nature of it.

Don't you dare go home and raise the white flag of surrender.

This is not your season to die.

This is not your season to quit.

There's joy.

There's peace.
