He and I turn red in embarrassment, but nonetheless, he turns to me and wimnks an eye with a bright smile. I giggle, glancing at the quotes and sure of who wrote them. I silently turn my body to see him. The smile on my face making him turn red as he averts his sight between me and the teacher. He clears his throat and runs his hands against the side of his pants.

Try to live your best life, you only live once.” She downed the whole water in her glass cup before stuffing food in her mouth. “You only live once…” I repeated, barely above a whisper.

“Alright, it was nice chatting with you. I have something else to do, so I gotta run, he said. “Okay. Take care,” I said. “Remember, we live only once. Don't live your life in guilt—instead, see it as an adventure. In this life, you owe nothing to anyone,” he said and turned to leave. “I'll remember that,” I muttered.

HA! You only get one life. Follow your dreams. NEVER APOLOGIZE for setting a goal and coming up with a plan to achieve it. I will help you. I promise. If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that we only get one. Life is short. And no matter how hard you try to soak in each day, today is the only day that’s promised. Yesterday is for memories and learning. And tomorrow is never promised. Don’t live in fear, sweet girls. Fear is a liar that will steal your joy. So live each day with love for others, love for yourself, and faith in something bigger than yourself.
