Carpe diem, or seize the day. Life is short. It’s something you realize when you lose somebody close to you. Then it hits home hardest. Most of the time you live your life not conscious of the fact that life ends at a certain time. Deep down you know it of course, you just don’t want to think about it. It’s an annoying fact. Carpe diem means that you should live your life to the fullest, every day can be your last. It doesn’t mean that you have to indulge your every wish, you have to be responsible too, you have to be compassionate and above all you have to enjoy your life. Every day again. It also doesn’t mean that you have to quit your job and just do the fun stuff. Care about people around you and care about yourself. Don’t let life pass you by, you are the one that holds the reigns. Be prepared to say no at times when it conflicts with your own interests. You’ve only got this one life, use it well.

These are wise words, Romke. I can fully agree with this. Sometimes it's hard to find the right balance between the things you think you SHOULD do and the things you WANT to do. But I'm learning more and more about the things that really matter: spending time with the ones you care about.
I don't think life is short, though. I feel like life is pretty damn long, but I likey.
