We’re so young. We’re so young...We have so much time.

Greetings la tricks. I read something today that, in the midst of the chaos and noise that is life, made me pause.
Time published an article about a young Yale student whose Final Essay went viral after her tragic death a few days after graduation.

I quote a portion of Marina Keegan's Final Essay in that, 'What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over. Get a post-bac or try writing for the first time. The notion that it’s too late to do anything is comical. It’s hilarious. We’re graduating college. We’re so young. We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have.'.

And here is what made me pause : The sense of possibility and the idea that we can do anything, I think is, something that we should all hold on too, no matter how old and jaded we become.  But the death of this young woman brings home that maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't wait. Do not wait to start over. Do not wait to change your mind. Do not wait to do anything. Because, while it may not be too late to do anything TODAY, there may not actually be a tomorrow.

Ladies and Gents, do yourselves a favour and take a few minutes to read the Final Essay. Think about it. Mull over it. Keep it with you. Discard it immediately.Do whatever you wish, just DON'T WAIT to do it at all.

This post is written with the utmost respect and sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Marina Keegan and all who knew her.
