YOLO - You're Doing it WRONG!!!

Some people may have already seen this on my Twitter and Skype statuses, but whatever. It needs to be heard.

So recently, there's been this saying going around: YOLO (You Only Live Once), which isn't really that bad come to think of it. But people have been using it to justify doing stupid stuff like car surfing, getting stoned or drunk, just basically stupid $#!+. THAT IS NOT YOLO, PEOPLE. That is a disgrace to YOLO and everything it truly means!!!

The real meaning of YOLO? It means that you only get to live once on this earth, so leave an honorable legacy. Be the person you'd want your grandkids to look up to and fondly remember at family reunions and such. Be the kind of friend you'd love to have. Love like you've never loved before, and accept everyone for who they are and not by appearances. Be prepared to die at any moment and live with no regrets, because you don't get a do-over. Yeah, there's gonna be times when you screw up. Big deal, you're human, it happens. The true test is what you do to overcome your mistakes.

That's what YOLO means to me, at least. If you don't agree, then please, keep doing what you're doing. Just don't expect me to join you in your stupidity. Have a nice day!

Love from your dear friend and David's girlfriend,
