This is something I read, and I don't know the author but this is not mine. I give the author full credit, but I wanted to share it with you.
People are like balloons. Technically,
they are free to go anywhere and do
everything. Practically, they are
always held down by something, tight
in the palm of someone, stuck in
someplace, knotted there until they
lose air and sink to the floor. And
some people are filled with helium so
they go quick, but they go giggling.
And I decided in life that I would
be a free balloon, the balloon that the
little girl accidentally let go and cried
about until it became but a speck in
space, no larger than the stars, which
is ironic because the stars
are huge - the hugest thing.

I absolutely loved that, because I can't stand to settle. People all around me are settling because that's what they know best. They settle for love and end in divorce, they settle for a career that makes them unhappy, they settle where they are and wish they would have done something with their lives. Some even still have a chance to, but they refuse to try. Then there are the people who strive to be successful and go charging through life, missing all the small but important things that make up their lives. In a blink of an eye, their life is gone. I'm being cliché here, but YOLO; you only live once. You need to live life like a free balloon, swaying with life and going up and up towards the stars. Feeling happy and free, not dreading the next day or forgetting the last. - Andrea x
