Routines & Loops

Hope this inspires you to be happy!

One day you wake up and you're sixteen.

Then before you know it you're turning thirty.

With no clue where life was supposed to lead you.

The thought in your mind creeping up,

Are you ever going to have a family?

Is it to late to go get that dream job?

Stuck in the same routine of a 9-5pm.

You feel you wasted the last 16 years away.

What adventures have I done?

Who are my friends anymore?

You got caught up in the madness of life,

That you forgot to start living.

Don't let life pass you by.

Chase that dream job.

Say hi to the cute guy or girl at the bar.

Making memories that will last a lifetime.

Don't be in a continuous loop for the rest

Of your life.

After a while you will come at a crossroads

With yourself and by the time you realize,

That life doesn't stop for you.

You'll continue to take the easy way out of it.

Be spontaneous and adventurous.

Dance when EVERYONE is watching.

Don't be ashamed or scared to leave,

Your crappy day job.

You're too young to be stuck behind a desk,

Filling paperwork.

So to everyone who can relate,

Start living today.

Have no regrets.

Most importantly do it for you, and

Nobody else.
